Dear Mr.President

P!NK

Dear Mr. President I
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?


Opwijking van de dag:

Blijven geloven.
In de liefde.
In de mensen.
In de wereld.

Blijven hopen.
Blijven geven.
Blijven geluk verspreiden.

Lief zijn.
Liefde tonen. 
Liefde geven.


Ben ik in schok? Bang? Teleurgesteld?
Ja. Gisteren was ik dat.
Vandaag ben ik dat een beetje en veel meer van bovenstaande.

Ik blijf hopen, geloven, liefhebben.
Voor mijzelf, voor de wereld, voor iedereen.
Naïef?
Misschien...
Makkelijk?
Begot niet.
Maar dit werkt, voor mij. 
Dus ik doe zo verder.
Diep vallen gaat hoog stijgen vooraf...


Nog een dikke kus voor Hilary en ik tel de dagen af naar Michelle for President!

Hij hoeft me
niets te beloven
ik ben van de soort
die in eenhoorns
blijft geloven...
-Els- 


Sterkte en dikke kus allemaal,
liefs Els
