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
