Testo Dear Rosa - Labelle
Testo della canzone Dear Rosa (Labelle), tratta dall'album Back To Now
Ooh, ooh
Oh, I, oh yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
Said I've got something to say
My dear lady
Dear Rosa
I wanna say what's on my mind
I'm writing you a letter
With love and hope in every line
I try not to think about the pain
But how your sacrifice will reign
Dear Rosa
Who would believe?
So hot and tired
What made you decide
That you would rather die
Than to stand so someone else could write
And prove the lie again
That the color of our skin
Made us less than other men
Dear Rosa
Sit down, servant, come on in
How long will this hate go on?
Changed our lives and now you're gone
Somebody said and still the crosses burn
Dear Rosa, the spirit will yearn
Sitting down in the front of the bus
You made a stand for all of us
You didn't move when they called you names
You knew that a mind
Was the hardest thing to change
Living in a land, your freedom denied
After Malcolm, Martin and John gave their lives
Dear Rosa, it's so hard not to cry, ooh
Dear Rosa
You didn't live to see the day
We talk to one another
Regardless of the color of our skin
Or the Gods that we believe in
When I look around
And see people filled with hate, oh
Dear Rosa, how did you keep your faith?
Yes, tell me
How long will this go on?
You changed our lives and now you're gone away
Oh, oh, oh
Somebody said and still the crosses burn
Oh, dear Rosa, the spirit will yearn
Oh, oh
Dear Rosa, oh, we miss you, yeah, yes we do
Uh-huh
Changed our lives
Oh, you taught us
You taught us all the right things to do, yeah
Somebody said
Rosa, oh, what a wonderful woman
Dear Rosa
Oh, I'm so glad, Rosa, you sat down
Rosa
Oh, tell me where we are
I don't know where I'd be
But I know that's a dream
Changed our lives
Where would I be, Rosa
And the pride that I feel
If you did not believe?
Yes, I know it is real
Somebody said
Keep your memory
You've been a blessing to me
Dear Rosa
I want the world to sing, oh, yeah
Rosa
Rosa
I don't know where I'd be
But I know that's a dream
Changed our lives
And the pride that I feel
Yes, I know it is real
Somebody said
Somebody said, hey, hey
Dear Rosa
Dear Rosa, sit on down
I'll keep singing it
Rosa
I don't know where I'd be
But I know that's a dream
Oh, tell me
Changed our lives
And the pride that I feel
Yes, I know it is real
Somebody said
Dear Rosa, dear Rosa
Dear Rosa
Dear Rosa, dear Rosa, dear Rosa, dear Rosa
