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 help me try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived a lie, its just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, slaving away.

Ohhh, 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, show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face,
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day
That gets me through the night.
