Grandpa Elliott

I was born by the river in a little tent

Oh And just like that river I've been running ever since

It's been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will



It's been too hard living, but I'm afraid to die

Cos I don't know what's out there beyond the sky



It's been a long, a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna 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 is gonna come, oh yes it will



Then I go to my brother

And I say brother help me please

And he just winds up knockin' me

Back down on my knees



There been times I thought I couldn't last for long

But now I think I'm able to carry on

It's been a long, been a long time coming

But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

This song says a.. no matter who you are
no matter where you go in your life
It's some points you go need somebody to stand by you.

Oh yeah~ oh my doll~ stand by me~
No matter who you are
No matter where you go in life
You go need somebody to stand by you
No matter how much money you got
of~ a free you you've got
You go need somebody to stand by you

When the night has come And the land is dark
And that moon is the only light we'll see
No I won't be afraid
No I won't she won't here just as long as you peple come in stand by me

And darlin', darlin',
stand by me
oh stand (by)
oh stand, Stand (stand by)
Don't move stand by (stand by)

when the sky that we look upon
when Should tumble and fall
And a mountains should crumble into the sea

I won't cry,
I won't cry,
no I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand,
stand by me

So darlin', darlin',
stand by me,
oh stand by me
Please stand
stand by me, stand by me,

And darlin', darlin',
stand by me,
oh stand by me
Please stand
stand by me, stand by me,
(Oh~ babe baby)

(간주)

So darlin', darlin',
stand
wo~ stand
oh~ stand (stand by me)
