1
Said I?ve got something to say
2
My dear lady,
3
Dear Rosa,
4
I want to say what?s on my mind
5
I ?m writing you a letter
6
With love and hope in every line
7
I try not to think about the pain
8
But how your sacrifice will reign
9
Dear Rosa,
10
Who would believe?
11
So hot and tired
12
What made you decide?
13
That you would rather die
14
Than just stand so someone else could ride
15
And prove that lie again
16
That the color of our skin made us less than other men
17
Dear Rosa,
18
Sit down servant
19
Come on in
20
How long? Will this hate go on?
21
Change our lives and now you?re gone
22
Somebody said, and still the cross is burned.
23
Dear Rosa,
24
The spirit will yearn.
25
Sitting down in the front of the bus
26
You made a stand for all of us
27
You didn?t move when they called you names
28
You knew that a mind was the hardest thing to change.
29
Living in a line, your freedom denied,
30
After Malcolm, Martin and John gave their life.
31
Dear Rosa,
32
It?s so hard not to cry
33
Dear Rosa,
34
You didn?t live to see the day we talked to one another
35
Regardless of the color of our skin
36
Or the gods we believed in
37
When I look around and see people filled with pain
38
Dear Rosa,
39
How did you keep your faith?
40
Yes, tell me
41
How long, will this go on?
42
You changed our lives
43
Now your gone away, goneeeeeeee
44
Somebody says, and still the cross is burned.
45
Dear Rosa,
46
The spirit will yearn.
47
Chorus: (Background)
48
Dear Rosa,
49
Oh we miss you yes, yes we do
50
Uh huh, oh the trials and troubles
51
Regardless of the right things to do
52
Rosa,
53
What a wonderful woman?
54
I am so glad
55
Rosa, you sat down.
56
Chorus: (Background)
57
Rosa, tell will we ever ride
58
Where would I be, Rosa if you did not believe
59
Keep the memory; you?ve been a blessing to me
60
I want the world to sing, oh
61
Chorus: (Background)
62
Rosa oh, you have been good to me
63
Change our lives
64
Oh the pride that I feel and I know that it?s real
65
Somebody say, hey hey
66
Dear Rosa,
67
You sat on down
68
I?ll keep saying it
69
Yes you did
70
Tell me somebody
71
Dear Rosa (repeat 6X?s)
72
Chorus:
73
Rosa, I don?t know where I?d be, but I know yes indeed.
74
Change our lives, and the pride that I feel, yes I know that it?s real.
75
Somebody say, Dear Rosa,
