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.

Chorus:
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 people 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 dignity.
Thank you Sister Rosa.

Chorus
