Dear Mr. President

Come take a walk with me

Lets pretend were just two people and

Youre not better than me

Id 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

Were not dumb and were not blind

Theyre all sitting in your cells

While you pay the road to hell

What kind of father would take his own daughters 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

Youve 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 dont 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

Youd never take a walk with me

Would you
