Ellis Paul - Rosa Parks lyrics

The wheels on the bus, they go round and round... Back in 1955 in Montgomery on a city street There's a bus on a corner with police cars And a woman sitting down in her seat You know what's right You know what's wrong The signs are coming down It's been going on too long You know what's wrong You know what's right Rosa's gonna fight It's been going on too long Rosa was arrested cause a white man Asked for her seat and she wouldn't give it up Martin Luther King helped form a boycott No blacks would ride the bus until it stopped Sometimes the best way To fight for a better day Is sitting down Not fighting! Sitting down, make it right and Sit down to stand up Sit down to stand up Sit down to stand up For your rights! You don't need no violence to set it right Make a change, change, change Rosa brought change and a movement came Where people fought for their civil rights In school, in work and in traveling It should be equal if you're black or white
