Dear Mr. President (Live)

Lyrics

Dear Mister 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 Mister 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 Mister President
 You'd never take a walk with me
 ♪
 Would you?
