Sister Rosa |
| December 1, 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 |
| 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 |
| A bus driver said, «Lady, you got to get up |
| 'Cause a white person wants that seat» |
| But Miss Rosa said, «No, not no more |
| I? |
| m gonna sit here and rest my feet» |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Now, the police came without fail |
| And took Sister Rosa off to jail |
| And 14 dollars was her fine |
| Brother Martin Luther King knew it was our time |
| The people of Montgomery sat down to talk |
| It was decided all God’s children should walk |
| Until segregation was brought to its knees |
| And we obtain freedom and equality, yeah |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| So we dedicate this song to thee |
| For being the symbol of our dignity |
| Thank you Sister Rosa |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
| Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark |
| You started our freedom movement |
| Thank you Sister Rosa Parks |
