Dear Mr President Lyrics - 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?
