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 |
|

|
So we dedicate this song to thee |
|
For being the symbol of our dignity |
|
Thank you Sister Rosa |
