"Dear Mr. President" (feat. Indigo Girls)
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?
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?
