Why you wanna tell me how? to live my life?
And who are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Momma can you help me try to understand,
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man?
My daddy live to die that's just the price that he paid
Sacrificed his life just slaving away
Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang on to
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing? on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Take a look around you nothing's what it seems.
Who are you to tell me where the flower grows?
Who are you to tell me that the child don't know?
Innocence has died out on a dead end street
Looking for forgiveness, he's down on his knees.
Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang on to
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing? on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
(Solo)
Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang on to
To make you feel alive...
Oh if there's one thing I could give you
To get you through the night
Oh a little something to hang on to
To make you feel alive
Brighter than a diamond, sharper than a knife
Standing? on the ledge, it might save your live
If there's one thing I could say
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day!
