Running

I was born by a river, in this little tent
Just like that river, I've been running forever
It's been a long, long time
And I've been running
But I know
Oh, I know a change has gotta come

I asked my brother "Will you help me please?"
He turned me down
So I go to my mother, I said "Mother! Mother, I'm down on my knees"
It's been a long time coming
A long, long time
But, somehow I thought I could carry on forever
I thought I could run forever
Just like that river
Just like a river

Oh my little brother, brother help me please
Oh father, father I'm praying for you
Oh my god, please
It's been too long, a little too long
A change has gotta come
I'm so tired of running
Running by myself
