I was born by the river

In a little tent 

and gorgeous like the river

I've been running, ever since


It's been a long

a long time coming 

but I, I know a chance gonna come

Owh yes it will


It's been to hard living,

But I am afraid to die 

cause I don't know what's up there

beyond the sky


It's been a long 

a long time coming

but I, I know a chance gonna come

Owh yes it will


There's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long

But somehow

I think I'm able to carry on 


It's been a long 

a long time coming

but I know, I know a chance is gonna come

Owh yes you will


And then I go to my mother 

I said mother could you help me please?

She said : I'd like to, I rally would,  

but I'm just not able

Then I looked around 

and I was right back down, 

down on my knees 


There's been times that I thought

I wouldn't last for long

But somehow

I think I'm able to carry on


It's been a long

a long time coming 

but I know a chance gonna come

Owh yes you will
