[Intro: P!nk]
La-da-da
La-da-da-da-da

[Verse 1: P!nk]
Dear Mr. President
Come take a walk with me (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

[Pre-Chorus: P!nk]
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?

[Chorus: P!nk & Indigo Girls, P!nk]
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?
La-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2: P!nk, Indigo Girls, Both]
Dear Mr. President, were you a lonely boy? (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 (We're not blind)
They're all sitting in your cells
While you pave the road to hell
[Pre-Chorus 2: P!nk & Indigo Girls, P!nk]
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

[Chorus: P!nk & Indigo Girls]
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?

[Bridge: P!nk & Indigo Girls, P!nk]
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
[Outro: Indigo Girls, P!nk]
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
Mm, would you?
