歌词
Dear Mr. President
敬爱的总统先生,您能和我散散步吗?
Come take a walk with me
就假装只有我们两个人
Let's pretend we're just two people and
假装您是和我一样的普通人
You're not better than me
如果我们能敞开心扉、坦诚相对,我想问您一些问题
I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly
当看到大街上无家可归的人时,您作何感想?
What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street
您在临睡前会为谁祈祷?
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep
当注视镜中的自己时,您又感受如何?
What do you feel when you look in the mirror
会感到自豪吗?
Are you proud
当我们其他人痛苦流泪时,您如何能安然入眠?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
当一个母亲连跟孩子告别的机会都没有时,您岂能能酣然入梦?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
您怎能昂首前行?
How do you walk with your head held high
您能够正视我的双眼,
Can you even look me in the eye
告诉我这一切都是为什么吗?
And tell me why
敬爱的总统先生

您曾感受孤独吗?
Were you a lonely boy
您曾感受孤独吗?
(Were you a lonely boy)
您现在孤独吗?
Are you a lonely boy
您现在孤独吗?
(Are you a lonely boy)
您怎能拍着胸脯说
How can you say
一个孩子也不会被落下
No child is left behind
我们不哑也不盲
We're not dumb and we're not blind
他们正沿着您铺设的通往地狱的道路
They're all sitting in your cells
一步步走向深渊
While you pay the road to hell
什么样的父亲会夺走自己女儿的权利?
What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away
又是什么样的父亲会憎恨自己的女儿,只因她爱的是同性
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay
我只能想象第一夫人说的话
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
你也曾经历那些沉溺于酒精和可卡因的日子
You've come a long way from whiskey and *******
当我们其他人痛苦流泪时,您如何能安然入眠?
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry
当一个母亲连跟孩子告别的机会都没有时,您岂能能酣然入梦?
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye
您怎能昂首前行?
How do you walk with your head held high
您能够正视我的双眼吗?
Can you even look me in the eye
让我来告诉你什么才是辛苦的工作
Let me tell you bout hard work
是怀孕的妈妈在做着只有最低工资的工作
Minimum wage with a baby on the way
让我来告诉你什么才是艰难的工作
Let me tell you bout hard work
是在自己的房子被炸毁后重建家园
Rebuilding your house after the bombs took them away
让我来告诉你什么才是艰苦的工作
Let me tell you bout hard work
是用纸板箱来搭造床铺
Building a bed out of a cardboard box
让我来告诉你什么才是艰辛
Let me tell you bout hard work
艰辛的工作
Hard work
艰辛的工作
Hard work
你根本不懂什么是艰辛
You don't know nothing bout hard work
艰辛的工作
Hard work
艰辛的工作
Hard work
噢
Oh
您如何在晚上安然入睡?
How do you sleep at night
您如何昂首前行?
How do you walk with your head held high
敬爱的总统先生
00:16.02]Dear Mr. President
您永远不会跟我散步
You'd never take a walk with me
你会吗?
Would you
