《Dear Rosa(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Dear Rosa - LaBelle

[00:00:28] Said i've got something to say

[00:00:33] My dear lady

[00:00:39] Dear Rosa

[00:00:43] I want to say what's on my mind

[00:00:49] I'm writing you a letter

[00:00:53] With love and hope in every line

[00:00:59] I try not to think about the pain

[00:01:03] But how your sacrifice will reign

[00:01:08] Dear Rosa

[00:01:11] Who would believe

[00:01:18] So hot and tired

[00:01:22] What made you decide

[00:01:27] That you would rather die

[00:01:30] Than just stand so someone else could ride

[00:01:36] And prove that lie again

[00:01:40] That the color of our skin made us less than other men

[00:01:46] Dear Rosa

[00:01:49] Sit down servant

[00:01:51] Come on in

[00:01:54] How long Will this hate go on

[00:02:04] Change our lives and now you're gone

[00:02:13] Somebody said and still the cross is burned

[00:02:21] Dear Rosa

[00:02:24] The spirit will yearn

[00:02:32] Sitting down in the front of the bus

[00:02:37] You made a stand for all of us

[00:02:42] You didn't move when they called you names

[00:02:45] You knew that a mind was the hardest thing to change

[00:02:51] Living in a line your freedom denied

[00:02:55] After Malcolm Martin and John gave their life

[00:03:00] Dear Rosa

[00:03:02] It's so hard not to cry

[00:03:09] Dear Rosa

[00:03:12] You didn't live to see the day we talked to one another

[00:03:21] Regardless of the color of our skin

[00:03:24] Or the gods we believed in

[00:03:29] When I look around and see people filled with pain

[00:03:36] Dear Rosa

[00:03:39] How did you keep your faith

[00:03:42] Yes tell me

[00:03:46] How long will this go on

[00:03:55] You changed our lives

[00:03:58] Now your gone away goneeeeeeee

[00:04:04] Somebody says and still the cross is burned

[00:04:12] Dear Rosa

[00:04:14] The spirit will yearn

[00:04:22] Dear Rosa

[00:04:25] Oh we miss you yes yes we do

[00:04:29] Uh huh oh the trials and troubles

[00:04:34] Regardless of the right things to do

[00:04:41] Rosa

[00:04:46] What a wonderful woman

[00:04:48] I am so glad

[00:04:50] Rosa you sat down

[00:04:56] Rosa tell will we ever ride

[00:05:07] Where would I be Rosa if you did not believe

[00:05:14] Keep the memory; you've been a blessing to me

[00:05:24] I want the world to sing oh

[00:05:31] Rosa oh you have been good to me

[00:05:38] Change our lives

[00:05:42] Oh the pride that I feel and I know that it's real

[00:05:47] Somebody say hey hey
