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 Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man? My daddy lived a lie, it's just the price that he paid Sacrificed his life, just slavin' away Ooh, 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, 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 knocked on every door down every dead end street Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe? Ooh, 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, and show the wind how to fly When the world gets in my face I say, have a nice day Have a nice day Ooh, 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, and 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 When the 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
