Soul lyrics

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like the river
I've been running ever since
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it is

It's been too hard living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh yes it will

I go to the movies
And I go downtown

If you don't know me by now, you will never ever ever know me

All the things that we've been through
You should understand me like I understand you
Now girl I know the difference between right and wrong
I ain't gonna do nothing to break up our happy home
Oh so, don't get excited when I come home a little late at night
Cause we only act like children when we argue, fuss and fight

This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it would be nothing... Nothing without a woman or a girl

You see, Man made the car to take us over the road
Man made the trains to carry the heavy load
Man made the electric lights to take us out of the dark
Man made the boat for the water like Noah made the ark

This is a man's world, a man's world
