"I was born by the river in a little tent,
Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since.
It's been a long, a long time coming;
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will.
It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die,
Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky.
It's been a long, a long time coming ..
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will ...!"
- Sam Cooke
