Sister Rosa

(album: Songs From The Mardi Gras - 1991)

People going round in circles
Round and round in circles everyday
They don't know where they are going
They don't know that there's a better way

Now mamma's crying
Pap is waiting
By an open door
For forty years of sacrifice
Has led to nothing more
But don't worry, don't worry

I'm gonna make it
Right, right
I'm gonna make it
Right, right

Everyday another dream
Passes through the night
Wanting to believe in something
That they feel is right

Now Sister Rosa sits alone
She is not afraid
For everyday is a new beginning
Today she's got it made

Now mamma's crying
Pap is waiting
By an open door
For forty years of sacrifice
Has led to nothing more
But don't worry, don't worry

I'm gonna make it
Right, right
I'm gonna make it
Right, right

I'm gonna make it
Right, right
I'm gonna make it
Right, right

Now mamma's crying
Pap is waiting
By an open door
For forty years of sacrifice
Has led to nothing more
But don't worry, don't worry

I'm gonna make it
Right, right
I'm gonna make it
Right, right

I'm gonna make it
Right, right
I'm gonna make it
Right, right

We're gonna make it
Right, right
Right, right
Right, right
Right, right
Right, right
Make it, make it
Right, right
Right, right
Right, right
