She said, “I’m tired of giving in”, and sat on the bus
Waiting for worlds to collide
“ Where’d you learn to dance like that?”
Said the avalanche to the butterfly
Oh Rosa, look what you’ve done
Sitting down you stood up for everyone
Your tiny little voice burned down the house
So we could build a better one
He said, “ I have a dream, let freedom ring”
The ages will echo its chime
“ You will never walk alone ”
Said the poet-king to every child
Oh Martin, we hear your song
Your voice is louder than guns
Your beautiful words sang ‘round the world
So we could build a better one
So get on board Rosa’s bus
Let freedom ring, it’s up to us
It’s not black or white, it’s everyone’s right
To be a butterfly
No, it’s not black or white, it’s everyone’s right
To be a butterfly
“ Where’d you learn to dance like that?”
Said the avalanche to the butterfly
