People Speak, The movie - Dear Mr. President lyrics

rate me

Dear Mr. President,<br>

Come take a walk with me.<br>

Let's pretend we're just two people and<br>

You're not better than me.<br>

I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.<br>

<br>

What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?<br>

Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?<br>

What do you feel when you look in the mirror?<br>

Are you proud?<br>

<br>

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?<br>

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?<br>

How do you walk with your head held high?<br>

Can you even look me in the eye<br>

And tell me why?<br>

<br>

Dear Mr. President,<br>

Were you a lonely boy?<br>

Are you a lonely boy?<br>

Are you a lonely boy?<br>

How can you say<br>

No child is left behind?<br>

We're not dumb and we're not blind.<br>

They're all sitting in your cells<br>

While you pave the road to hell.<br>

<br>

What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?<br>

And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?<br>

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say<br>

You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine.<br>

<br>

How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?<br>

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?<br>

How do you walk with your head held high?<br>

Can you even look me in the eye?<br>

<br>

Let me tell you 'bout hard work<br>

Minimum wage with a baby on the way<br>

Let me tell you 'bout hard work<br>

Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away<br>

Let me tell you 'bout hard work<br>

Building a bed out of a cardboard box<br>

Let me tell you 'bout hard work<br>

Hard work<br>

Hard work<br>

You don't know nothing 'bout hard work<br>

Hard work<br>

Hard work<br>

Oh<br>

<br>

How do you sleep at night?<br>

How do you walk with your head held high?<br>

Dear Mr. President,<br>

You'd never take a walk with me.<br>

Would you?<br>
