Dear Mr. President
|
Come take a walk with me
|
Let's pretend we're just two people and
|
You're not better than me
|
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
|
|
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
|
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
|
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
|
Are you proud
|
|
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
|
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
|
How do you walk with your head held high
|
Can you even look me in the eye
|
And tell me why
|
|
Dear Mr. President
|
Were you a lonely boy
|
Are you a lonely boy
|
Are you a lonely boy
|
How can you say
|
No child is left behind
|
We're not dumb and we're not blind
|
They're all sitting in your cells
|
While you pave the road to hell
|
|
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
|
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
|
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
|
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
|
|
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
|
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
|
How do you walk with your head held high
|
Can you even look me in the eye
|
|
Let me tell you bout hard work
|
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
|
Let me tell you bout hard work
|
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
|
Let me tell you bout hard work
|
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
|
Let me tell you bout hard work
|
Hard work
|
Hard work
|
You don't know nothing bout hard work
|
Hard work
|
Hard work
|
Oh
|
|
How do you sleep at night
|
How do you walk with your head held high
|
Dear Mr. President
|
You'd never take a walk with me
|
Would you
|
