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 a lie
Its just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away
Ohhh if there s one thing I hang onto
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
Just 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 nothings what it seems
We re living in a broken home of hopes and dreams
Let me be the first to shake your helping hand
Everybody brave enough to take a stand
I knocked on every door on every dead end street
Looking for forgiveness
What s left to believe
Ohhh if there s one thing I hang onto
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
Just show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say have a nice day
Have a nice day
Ohhh
Ohhh if there s one thing I hang onto
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
Just show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Now when this world keeps trying to drag me down
I've gotta raise my hands
Gonna stand my ground
I say hey have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
