Aaron Neville - A Change Is Gonna Come Lyrics
I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
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
But I know a change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
When I go to my brother, my brother, my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Right down on my, on the knees
And there been times that I thought
I couldn't last for long
But now I think
I'm able to carry on
It's been a long
A long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will
It's been a long
It's been a long, long time coming
Well, I know, I know, I know change gonna come
Oh, yes it will

MAGICAL.....VOICE !!!!!¡¡¡¡
Ohhh do soothing.. So really very beautiful
FATHER, thank YOU for sending change to this nation, change for YOUR people & our loved ones, in JESUS'S name, AMEN !!!
if U get a chance, listen to his Christmas album... never heard a better "O Holy Night" best album for the Holidays !
I like Tina Turner version better
My Fave version of this song .He does an excellent job on any song He sings.
I love it. BEAUTIFUL!!!
best singer ND song...even its old classic still knock some sense...love it
He sounds really really good💞
Hmmmm, not bad at all.
His voice can make you cry laugh and celebrate... One beautiful soul the great Aaron Neville. Hmm tears of joy joy joy that's what his music does to me.
if you mix a good voice with gospel and sax... you do BINGO!!!! WOW I LOVE IT!!!!
se metti musica con gospel e sax...e una bella voce... hai fatto un abbinata vincente!!!! wow i love it!!!!!!
Sam will be proud of this remix
It's lit
This song is so me tonight 😔
What a voice ... God gifted .. Sam cooke for sure nodding to this
Really enjoy his voice but not his face..... Nah nah, nah.........
Sung only like Arron Neville could sing it, Sam Cooke would have been proud of this version.
I dedicate this song to President Obama.
Awespme, buddy.
A change is coming! This song is timeless!
Aaron, just about anything yo sing is on point.
Oh! That magical voice... just a total pleasure to listen to it.
....I was born near the river ! :))))
Soldier of God Uk SO was I!
Absolutely beautiful
Voice of an angel
one of favorite performers
please see his Martha's vineyard 2008 performance. So heartfelt. So uplifting. I 've been crying for an hours overs it. Its as if he forsee's the refugee's begging Europe. "Brother.. Help me please" and how does civilised Europe respond? By voting fascist. Yet yet yet. Who has been by far the kindest. The Germans led by Merkel.
perfect
Ich liebe es..
love his voice 😘😘😘
Love Aaron Neville. I love to hear him sing
real good rendering of this classic. thanks for sharing
Trust Jesus
The best ever
Nice one!! Love it!! :)
Sam Cooke does this this best followed by Seal.
This is wonderful appealing.
another wonderful arrangement
You know the funny part... he could have destroyed this song and done it even better. He held back. Listen to amazing grace and you see what he's really capable off.
Agreed. Saw him do Amazing Grace in Brisbane Australia back in 91 and he had a bad back that night and was in a lot of pain but he still tore it up
sam would have been oh-so-proud
Niceeeeeeeeeeee
nice song to hear
thank god for artist like aaron ,keeping us sane from the x factor
The version on the Yellow Moon album is even better.
I think this is my favorite version of this song.
Josiane Ochman nothing like his version of yellow moon
It's great and there are a lot of versions out there, but I still like Sam Cooke's original the best.
You can feel the soul
Love it! What a unique and wonderful voice!
Oh heck yeah, that's what I'm talkin about!!!
ME TOO!!!
I don't need more power than this. It's huge and elegant at the same time. LOVES me some Aaron Neville!
Hi the version I think you're looking for is on the Yellow Moon CD track 4. First time I heard that album..man oh man. Became a massive fan of the Nevilles then. :) Wore it out.
100 001 right on peace came to my soul
Jah, come to the crossroads!
Love Aaron Neville singing this song but I can't find the one that I have on cd. That version of him singing it is hauntingly beautiful.
All music is open to interpretation & he evidently decided to do this rendition. I took a music appreciation class a long time ago & learned to just enjoy it for what it is or just turn it off, or not buy it if I didn't like something, etc. I actually like this & think it is very powerful. It's his own style. Huey Lewis or Steely Dan would've done a very different variation of course, but different strokes....
A change is coming.
Sing sir! !
There is no voice like his!!!
A real American, hard working and smart with street soul! Just like our beloved President! God Bless them both!
T. G. Arnold Sr. Obama for prison
1. Sam Cooke 2. Otis Redding 3. Terence Trent D'Arby 4.Al Green 5. Aretha 5. Luther
Oh, Aaron, you touch my heart and soul with your music. You help me keep my sanity.
THIS MAN CAN SING ANYTHING AND HE KEEPS ON GOING STRONG, GOD HELP US KEEP ARTIST LIKE AARON SAFE AND SHARED....AMEN
I saw Aaron in concert yesterday evening in NC...wonderful...love that voice
you do realize that they might just be going through hard times but they feel like things are going to change
excellent indeed, love it man. ol Sam Cooke done a great job on this one also. but Aaron has his on sounds that no-one can match. i've listened to this man almost 50 years, and i'm still surprised at the music he has that either i've not heard in years, or the one i haven't heard him sing. but i love discovering these gems. thanks you all for uploading and sharing with us music lovers, take care man... COA ...
@TheRoyaleagle i agree like the sam cooke version.
lik the brass section
@Murcury159 haha..You might want to put Otis Redding's at about 1.5!
Why did he ruin this song? :(

These posts appear in the wrong places, making them meaningless. I answered two here, and they have been placed miles away from the answered Post, making them just seem, well, meaningless. Alongside or directly beneath the relevant Posts they would have meaning. Where they have been placed lowers them into obscurity. Sort it out, knobs.
That bad, huh? Tell us. You do realise this is about slavery and the stunning cruelty and oppression perpetrated thereupon? It's not about a bad relationship, or a crap hairdresser that screwed up a night out.
Bet you like Whitney Houston. See, meaning is not about volume - shouting and screaming. It has exactly all the power it needs. When you understand that you will be whole, my son.
MIssed Otis I THINK!!! DUH!
He's one of my favourite Artist he sings from his soul
This song, I can so relate to my life. The voice of Aaron is like that of an angel. I love this.
I love this song so much; if I had to pick one song of his; this would be it.......it gives me goosebumps........everytime I listen to it...
i like it so much
I soooooooo Love this song...its smoooth...Yeah...(got a lil bluesy jazz soul feeling to it) xxx Beautiful Aaron... Brother..
@mommy Sometimes times are hard and you are challenged, but there is always hope. Don't give up and good things will come.
sooo sweet
what could 3 peeps not like about this song?hope your change will come.
this guy is totally awesome. there is something in his voice that makes you sit and listen. i love gospel music and his gospel roots run deeeeep!
@mspack please .... we KNOW its Sam cooke who WROTE the song and he performed it PERFECTLY. thats why other great artists ARE trying to do the song a favour... Sam is in heaven untouchable.. believe me. all this artists would pay to sing with him
it's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die
@TheRoyaleagle What did you expect? It's Aaron Neville, lol. I laugh sometimes at his versions of different songs. It sounds funny to me.
I love his smooth transition from head voice to falsetto. The only other person who does it as well is Eddie Kendricks form The Temptations.
Hahahahahaha..... u r so right....
Beautifully done. Thank you Leroyfj for putting this up. Mr. Neville does this as well as many others with pure soul.
You just would have had to of been there to hear him sing this.... truly tears to the eyes!
@TheRoyaleagle i agree need more power.
His voice is original
Obviously a great record with an aching soul vocal, there's only one other person who has the sense to recognise what's goin' down here!
@TheRoyaleagle .you are right,aarong use to sing this song with more emotions
made me sign up just to say this is a beautiful beautiful piece. thanks for putting it up.
