I've been so ready (so ready yeah) So way ahead of myself That I didn't see a change is gonna come (come) (oh yes it will) To my mind Bring all the peace you can find To my hands Bring all the power that love commands Cause I've been keeping (I've been keeping) My soul from receiving (my soul from receiving) oh yeah And oh Lord I've been helpless for so long, oh yes I have, oh yeah So let me go now (let me go now) Cause I should know now (baby) That I know (I know) A change (mm-hm) Is gonna come (come) (yes it's coming, yes it is) oh yes
