Song 11

A Change is Gonna Come: Seal---1963

The song, to me, is talking about the frustration black people had to experience after seeing slavery end but not prejudice and segregation. It's a very hopeful song because even though he describes the hardships, he keeps repeating that he expects to see a change one day. He faces the day and crosses boundaries with hope, knowing that he might get knocked down today but one day he'll be treated like every other man.
The song is in story form kind of, sung in the present tense as the singer is living the problem. I don't really like the song.
I'm glad to say that America has moved beyond segregation and most people are enlightened to the equality of every person whatever race or gender.
