Have A Nice Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 hear 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 on to
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, 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 a 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 on to
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, 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!
Oh, if there's one thing I hang on to
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, 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!
When the world keeps trying to drag me down
Gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground
I say, hey
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!
Have a nice day!
