Dear Mr. President

Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me (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 (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

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

Hmm, would you?
