Rosa sat, so Martin could walk

Here's a link to a beautiful song I was sent today. 

Rosa sat
So Martin could walk
Martin walked 
So Barack could run
Barack ran 
He ran and he won
So that all our children could fly

Thousands of people that November night
All of us here who've fought the long fight
Now we are one we are creating a new nation 
Joined together in celebration

Rosa sat
So Martin could walk
Martin walked
So Barack could run
Barack ran
He ran and he won
So that all our children could fly

Mother and daughter listening to the news
Momma breaks down crying little girl is confused
Honey we worked so hard to get to this place
Daughter puts a loving hand on momma's face

Rosa sat
So Martin could walk
Martin walked
So Barack could run
Barack ran
He ran and he won
So that all our children could fly

Mr. Obama I've turned to you
Share with the country what you're gonna do
Wars and foreclosure surround us this year
But yes we can rise above our fears

Rosa sat
So Martin could walk
Martin walked 
So Barack could run
Barack ran
He ran and he won
So that all our children could fly
