Dear Mr President Tab

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			(<< not so sure about this line)
		
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
