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 forgiveness, 
what's left to believe?

Ohhh, if there's one thing I hang onto, 
It gets me through the night. 
I aint gonna do what I don't want to, 
Im 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.

When The world keeps trying, to drag me down, 
I'll raise my hands, gonna stand my ground. 
Well I say, Have A Nice Day.
