Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
How can you say, no child is left behind?
Can you even look me in the eye? And tell me why?
How do you walk with your head held high?
Are you a lonely boy?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
We're not dumb and we're not blind
(Take a walk with me)
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
Dear Mr. President, you'd never take a walk with me, would you?
They're all sitting in your cells while you pave the road to hell
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud?
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
Let me tell you 'bout hard work
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
(Were you a lonely boy?)
Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
How do you walk with your head held high?
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away?
Let me tell you 'bout hard work, hard work, hard work
Let's pretend we're just two people and you're not better than me
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

Minimum wage with a baby on the way
How do you walk with your head held high?
You don't know nothin' 'bout hard work, hard work, hard work
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
(Are you a lonely boy?)
Dear Mr. President, come take a walk with me
How do you sleep at night?
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street?
You've come a long way from whiskey and cocaine
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Can you even look me in the eye?
Dear Mr.President, were you a lonely boy?
(We're not blind)
