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 |
|
(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 |
