Dear Rosa |
| Said I? |
| ve got something to say |
| My dear lady |
| Dear Rosa |
| I want to say what? |
| s on my mind |
| I? |
| m writing you a letter |
| With love and hope in every line |
| I try not to think about the pain |
| But how your sacrifice will reign |
| Dear Rosa |
| Who would believe? |
| So hot and tired |
| What made you decide? |
| That you would rather die |
| Than just stand so someone else could ride |
| And prove that lie again |
| That the color of our skin made us less than other men |
| Dear Rosa |
| Sit down servant |
| Come on in |
| How long? |
| Will this hate go on? |
| Change our lives and now you? |
| re gone |
| Somebody said, and still the cross is burned |
| Dear Rosa |
| The spirit will yearn |
| Sitting down in the front of the bus |
| You made a stand for all of us |
| You didn? |
| t move when they called you names |
| You knew that a mind was the hardest thing to change |
| Living in a line, your freedom denied |
| After Malcolm, Martin and John gave their life |
| Dear Rosa |
| It? |
| s so hard not to cry |
| Dear Rosa |
| You didn? |
| t live to see the day we talked to one another |
| Regardless of the color of our skin |
| Or the gods we believed in |
| When I look around and see people filled with pain |
| Dear Rosa |
| How did you keep your faith? |
| Yes, tell me |
| How long, will this go on? |
| You changed our lives |
| Now your gone away, goneeeeeeee |
| Somebody says, and still the cross is burned |
| Dear Rosa |
| The spirit will yearn |
| Chorus: (Background) |
| Dear Rosa |
| Oh we miss you yes, yes we do |
| Uh huh, oh the trials and troubles |
| Regardless of the right things to do |
| Rosa |
| What a wonderful woman? |
| I am so glad |
| Rosa, you sat down |
| Chorus: (Background) |
| Rosa, tell will we ever ride |
| Where would I be, Rosa if you did not believe |
| Keep the memory; |
| you? |
| ve been a blessing to me |
| I want the world to sing, oh |
| Chorus: (Background) |
| Rosa oh, you have been good to me |
| Change our lives |
| Oh the pride that I feel and I know that it? |
| s real |
| Somebody say, hey hey |
| Dear Rosa |
| You sat on down |
| I? |
| ll keep saying it |
| Yes you did |
| Tell me somebody |
| Dear Rosa (repeat 6X? s) |
| Rosa, I don? |
| t know where I? |
| d be, but I know yes indeed |
| Change our lives, and the pride that I feel, yes I know that it? |
| s real |
| Somebody say, Dear Rosa |
