Dear Mr. President,
8 G- `4 t) ^" t6 ~: L1 f, q8 Q. R& ?2 cCome take a walk with me.
Let's pretend we're just two people and
1 T- f9 l5 n' TYou'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?
6 g' v! c: F3 SWhat do you feel when you look in the mirror?
Are you proud?
3 D1 t8 r0 |; T- P7 M, W1 N$ H, B! `
# ~1 @! z7 G. j0 N, S3 bHow 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?

Those two songs go the same way, unlike our singers, foreign singers, however, are singing not only on romance,but on many serious topics like  politics and  enviroment.
