Rosa Parks Lyrics

Back in 1954 in Montgomery on city streets,
There's a bus on the corner with police cars
And a woman sit in front on her seat
You know what's right, you know what's wrong
No signs of coming down,
It's been going on to you
You know what's wrong, you know what's right
Rosa's gonna fight, it's been going on too long, too
long

Rosa was arrested cause of man
That's for herand she wouldn't give it up
Martin Luther King helped formed a boy cart
No blacks would ride the bus until they stopped
You know what's right, you know what's wrong
No signs of coming down,
It's been going on to you
You know what's wrong, you know what's right
Rosa's gonna fight, it's been going on too long, too
long

Sometimes the best way to fight for a better day
Is sitting down, not fighting, sitting down, making Sit down to stand up, sit down to stand up
Sit down to stand up, before you rise
Sit down to stand up, sit down to stand up
Sit down to stand up, before you rise

You don't need no riot to start a ride
Making changes, changes, changes,
Rosa brought change in the
When people fought for their civil rights
In the school and working and traveling
It should be equal if you black or white
You know what's right, you know what's wrong
No signs of coming down,
It's been going on to you
You know what's wrong, you know what's right
Sit down to stand up, sit down to stand up
Sit down to stand up, before you rise
Sit down to stand up, sit down to stand up
Sit down to stand up, before you rise.
