She sat on the bus, in a seat of her choice
She did not move, when she heard a white voice
She knew the law, but she did not care
She had a right, to be treated fair
She was arrested, and fined for her act
But she did not regret, she did not retract
She sparked a movement, of boycott and protest
She inspired a leader, named Martin Luther King
She fought for justice, with courage and grace
She challenged the system, of racial disgrace
She became a symbol, of dignity and strength
She changed the world, with her peaceful resistance
