Dear Mr President
Dear Mr President, I'm writing this letter just to let you know
I'm feeling hopeless, my heart is aching
With all the violence and the racial divide
And I don't know what to do
But I believe that we can change the world
If we come together as one
Cause I know there's still good in you
Dear Mr President, won't you open up your eyes?
Look beyond the color of our skin
And see the love in every line of our eyes
Oh please don't let this violence define us
Oh we don't ask for much
Just a chance for our children to grow up safe and sound
And in this land of dreams, we can make it happen
Dear Mr President, won't you walk among us now?
Take a stand for what's right, let's build a brighter future
With every challenge that we face today
We will rise up and we will overcome
Dear Mr President, won't you open up your heart?
Let the light of hope shine through, let's bring back dignity
To a country that we love so dearly, yeah
Oh we don't ask for much
Just a chance for our children to grow up safe and sound
And in this land of dreams, we can make it happen (we can make it happen)
Dear Mr President, we believe in you (we believe in you)
We believe in you (we believe in you)
Oh we believe in you (we believe in you)
Dear Mr President, won't you lead us now? (won't you lead us now?)
Oh let your light shine so brightly, so brightly (so brightly)
Let your light shine so brightly, so brightly (so brightly) yeah.
