Introduction

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 hear me? Try to understand.
Innocence is the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived the lie, its just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slave it away.

[CHORUS]:
Ohh, 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
roling 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, you knows him what he sees.
We're 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 forgivness and whats left to believe

[CHORUS]:
Ohh, 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
roling 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

[CHORUS]:
Ohh, 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
roling 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

The world keeps trying, to drag me down,
I've gotta raise my hands to stand my ground.
I say:
Hey, have a nice day
have a nice day
