 (ONE STRUM)
 Dear Mr President, come take a walk with me
 Lets pretend,  we're just two people and,  you're not better than me,
 I'd like to,  ask you some questions if we could,  speak honestly.
What  do you  feel  when you see 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
 Repeat Intro
Dear  Mr president,  were you a lonley boy
Were  you a lonley 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  might take his own daughter  right away?
And  what  kind of father  might hates 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 'bot hard  work
 minimum wage  with a baby on the way
 Let me tell you 'bot hard  work
 Re-building 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!
How  do you  sleep at  night?
(hold)Am/B(hold)(hold)  c (hold)
 How do you walk, with your head held high
Dear  Mr president  you'd never take a walk with me
 ummm, would you.
