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 a lie, 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 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'll 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 a 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'll show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say...
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!

Oh, 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, I'll show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say...
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!
When the world keeps trying to drag me down gotta raise my hands,
gonna stand my ground I say, hey
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!
