Lyrics:

This song is for my mama
This song is for you

Hey, Mr. President
Tomorrow I'm paying my rent
My fuel is running low
And I've got places to go
Quit slowing me down

Can we talk about the education of our children?
A book is worth more than a bomb any day
And remember a mirror to Africa
Who will bring the cure before its too late?

Dont you see the hurt in their eyes?
So much disappointment in many faces
Use your heart and not your pride
We cant go on and keep pretending, oh

Please, Mr. President
Wheres all the money you spent?
Food is falling low
And they have nowhere to go
Quit slowing me down

I ask you to have mercy on us, Father
You'd think we'd know the rules by now
We cant go starting wars with hearts of hatred
Our nation's greed wont make it better
Or quiet the fears in our hearts

Dont you see the hurt in their eyes?
So much disappointment in all of their faces
Use your heart and not your pride
We cant go on and keep pretending

Oh please, Mr. President

Dear Mr. President
I hope you got the letter I sent
A dollar only goes so far
And we need health care no matter who we are
See we come from different worlds and different places
Until theres one great land
One nation under God
Times are getting harder
And we need you to be like Moses
And lead your people through
Please be careful
Be careful
Of what you do, what you do
