Transcript for 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

cuz a white person wants that seat."

But Miss Rosa,she said, "No, not no more.

I’m gonna sit right 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 sit down to talk

It was decided all gods’ 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

So we dedicate this song to thee

for being the symbol of our dignity.
