Dear Mr. President

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 dance 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?)
Were you a lonely boy?
(Were 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 son's rights away?
And what kind of father would teach his own boy the wrong way?
I can't even imagine how the First Lady holds your hand
You've come a long way from whiskey to cocaine

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
How do you dance 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
Carrying a dead child that couldn't be fed
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?
