Vigil...ante

I was at the Trade Justice Movements Global Week of Action All-night Vigil (yes they thought it was a catchy title too) the other week...which was really good actually (even better than the title!). Anyway...the opening event was very very good - with lots of very very nice people like that lovely man whose name I've forgotton...Soames from The Forsythe Saga. Beverley Knight and Jools Holland did a really cool duet thing (hom on the pianoforte) by Sam Cooke - and I liked the lyrics, so here they are - the sound better to music so check him out.


A Change Is Gonna Come

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 coing
But I know a change gonna come
Oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother
I say brother help me please
But he winds up knocking me
Back down on my knees

There's been times that I thought
I woudn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come
Oh, yes it will
