Ice starts melting 33 degrees
A change is gonna come
Little girl thinking 'bout the birds and bees
A change is gonna come
Man grows up, goes down on his knees
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come

Here it comes

Every new beginning
Is a delicate time
But just like when the end comes
It's never very pretty
And every in-between time
Looks like a perfect picture
It seems to last forever
Because it's standing still

But oh, baby
A change is gonna come
Not just maybe
A change is gonna come

Ozone layer starts to disappear
A change is gonna come
Spaceman makes it with an alien girl
A change is gonna come
Scientists prove we were never here
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
Here it comes

Every new beginning
Is a delicate time
But just like when the end comes
It's never very pretty
And every in-between time
Looks like a perfect picture
It seems to last forever
Because it's standing still

But oh, mama
A change is gonna come

Psychodrama
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come

You better believe it
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come

I'm getting ready
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
A change is gonna come
