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 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'll 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 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
