Was there any up roar when this song came out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DEh0eSpNvY Here in Australia was topic of conversation for some time...I think she has guts...!
I like the song and yes she does have guts,but don't you think the Presidents, Kings, Prime Ministers ect ect.. of this world are only as good as the advisers around them? We the electors must share some of the blame for voting them in. I will probably get flak from this one..lol
For the those who dont want to listen to the song 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? But the song is best heard!!!
Yes is true there are influences from every sector...But I guess to get the point across she went str8 to the top..
Maybe, but so would something like Grotius's theories regarding the reasons for war (comparing it to the situation in the Middle East). And that isn't nearly as religious. I don't mean to troll, but I just get a tad bothered when people try to address political problems with religious solutions in a country that claims (albeit falsely) to have a separation between church and state. Interesting song, by the way. Thanks for the link to the video.
I understand your thoughts. However, this verse is for a global audience. It's not state or nation specific. Regards, Col
