    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.

Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                   Bb              F
    What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                   Bb              F
    Who  do you pray for at   night be    fore you go to  sleep?
Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                   Bb              F
    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

Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                        Bb                   F
    What kind of father would take his own     daughter's rights   away?
Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                        Bb                   F
    And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
Eb  Eb---Dm-----C7   C7                        Bb                   F
    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?

Would you?
