Dear Mrs. President

Dear Mrs. 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 streets?
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 Mrs. President,
Were you a lonely girl? 
Were you a lonely girl? 
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

How do you sleep at night?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mrs. President
You'd never take a walk with me...
Would you?
