A Change Will Come

Sam Cooke's haunting and moving song that acts as a backdrop in my mind for the tremendous changes that occurred in the Civil Rights Movement in The US has been playing for me as this election  campaign continues.


I was born by the river in a little tent
Oh and just like the river I been a runnin' 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
Cuz 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 tellin 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 knocking me
Back down on my knees
There been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long
Now think I'm able to carry on 
It's been a long, along time coming but I know
A change gon' come, oh yes it will 


Play this song and lift your spirits. APNU is bringing a great change
to our drear land of Guyana.
