Why you want to tell me how to live my life?
Who are you to tell me if its black or white?
Mama, can you hear me? Try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy lived the lie, its just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slaving away.
Oh, if theres one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I ain't going to do what I dont want to.
I'm going to live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, 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, look at what he sees.
Were living in a broken home of hopes and dreams.
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Everybody, pray enough to take a stand.
I knocked on every door, on every dead end street,
Looking for forgiveness,
Whats left to believe?
Oh, if theres one thing I hang onto,
It gets me through the night.
I ain't going to do what I dont want to.
I'm going to live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, 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,
I've got to raise my hands, going to stand my ground.
Well I say, have a nice day,
Have a nice day,
Have a nice day.
