December 1st, 1955 |
|
our freedom movement came alive |
|
And because of Sister Rosa you know |
|
we don't ride on the back |
|
of the bus no more |
|
Now Sister Rosa, |
|
she was tired one day |
|
After a hard day on her job |
|
When all she wanted |
|
was a well deserved rest |
|
Not a scene from an angry mob |
|
The bus driver said Lady you got to get up |
|
Cause a white person wants your seat |
|
But Miss Rosa said no, not no more |
|
I'm gonna stay right here |
|
and rest my feet |
|
Yeah, Thank you Miss Rosa, |
|
you were the spark |
|
That started our freedom movement |
|
Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
|
The police came without fail |
|
And took Sister Rosa off to jail |
|
14 dollars was her fine |
|
Brother Martin Luther King |
|
knew it was our time |
|
The pepole of Montgomery |
|
sat down to talk |
|
it was decided that all God's |
|
children should walk |
|
Until segregation was |
|
brought to its knees |
|
And we obtain freedom |
|
and equality |
|
Thank you Miss Rosa |
|
Chorus |
|
So we dedicate this song to thee |
|
For being a symbol of our dignity |
|
Thank you Sister Rosa |
|
Yeah, Thank you Miss Rosa, |
|
you were the spark |
|
That started our freedom movement |
|
Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
