Why you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if it´s black or white?
Momma, can you help me try to understand
Is innocence the difference ´tween a boy and a man?
My daddy lived to die, that´s just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away

Oh, if there´s one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the nite
I ain´t gonna do what I don´t want to; I´m gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face, I say…
Have a nice day
Have a nice day

Take a look around you; nothing´s what it seems
We´re living in the broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand
Anybody brave enough to take a stand
I´ve knocked on every door on every dead-end street
Looking for forgiveness and what´s left to believe

Oh, if there´s one thing I hang onto that gets me thru the night
I ain´t gonna do what I don´t´ want to; I´m gonna live my life
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice
Standing on the ledge, I show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face, I say…
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
