Why you wanna tell me how to live my life
Who are you to tell me if it's black or white
Mama can you help me try to understand
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man
My daddy lived to die and that's the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slipping away
If there's one thing I hang on to
That gets me through 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 show the wind how to fly
When the world is in my face
I say have a nice day
Have a nice day
Take a look around nothing's what it seems
We're living in this broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake your helping hand
With anybody brave enough to take a stand
I knocked down every door on every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness what's left to believe
Oh if there's one thing I hang out
That gets me through 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 edge and show the wind how to fly
When this world is in my face I say
Have a nice day
Oh if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I'm 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
Show the wind how to fly
When the world is in my veins
I say have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Cause when the world keeps trying to drag me down
I raise my hands and stand my ground
I say hey have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice g
