Music has the power to inspire, to heal, and to ignite change. ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ is more than just a song—it’s an anthem of hope, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of those who fight for a better tomorrow. Originally written by Sam Cooke and reimagined by Seal, this timeless masterpiece has touched hearts across generations, reminding us that no matter the struggle, change is always within reach.
I’m honored to perform this song as my entry for The Vibe Web3 Music Competitions Week 32. Let’s keep the message alive.
I hope you feel every note and emotion in this performance just as I felt while singing it.
Lyrics:
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 gon' 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 gon' come, oh yes, it will
I go to the movie and I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes, it will
Then I go to my brother
And I say, "Brother, help me please"
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There've 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 time coming
But I know a change gon' come, oh yes, it will
