Oh dear dear Rosa,

Break these chains

And break free from those that bound you.

 

Oh dear dear Rosa,

Break free from yourself

Become the great Rosa you are

Leave Detroit behind you

 

Oh dear dear Rosa,

Become my angel

Free like the white dove you are

Get to the front of the bus

Kiss me so sweet

 

Oh dear dear Rosa,

See the reflection in the glass

Be who you are and sing out loud

Put shyness to the wind

And quit hiding beneath the table,

Get on the bus

 

Oh dear dear Rosa,

Break free from the chains

Put your blindness aside

Let the hurricane gust

Blow through your hair

 

Oh dear dear Rosa,

Discovery of choice is but yours

Detroit is dead

You are mine

And I am yours.
