Rose of all Roses


She was a Rose A beautiful, brown Rose She stepped up on the bus of separation She sat down, for our freedoms She rode the mistreated waves of segregation She quietly refused, for our people And on that day, With the power of our beautiful, colored ancestors, Invested in her veins She spontaneously rose, for our rights She was a Rose A beautiful, brown Rose
