[00:17.83]
[00:18.70]Come take a walk with me
[00:20.90]
[00:28.08]Let's pretend we're just two people and
[00:32.27]
[00:33.20]You're not better than me
[00:35.89]I'd like to ask you some questions
[00:38.45]If we can speak honestly
[00:42.34]
[00:44.41]What do you feel
[00:45.47]When you see all the homeless on the street
[00:49.11]
[00:51.43]Who do you pray for at night
[00:53.80]Before you go to sleep
[00:56.08]
[00:58.64]What do you feel
[00:59.70]When you look in the mirror
[01:02.70]
[01:03.38]Are you proud
[01:05.57]
[01:07.31]How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
[01:12.31]
[01:14.49]How do you dream
[01:15.68]When a mother has no chance to say goodbye
[01:20.78]
[01:21.34]How do you walk with your head held high
[01:26.71]
[01:27.96]Can you even look me in the eye
[01:34.08]
[01:34.83]And tell me why
[01:36.95]
[01:51.46]Dear Mr. President

[02:11.36]
[02:12.55]They're all sitting in your cells
[02:15.87]While you pave the road to hell
[02:18.82]
[02:19.88]What kind of father would
[02:21.63]Take his own daughter's rights away
[02:24.75]
[02:26.80]And what kind of father might hate his own daughter
[02:30.17]If she were gay
[02:31.92]
[02:34.04]I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
[02:39.02]
