Another Day

I used to pray every night

When I was younger

On my knees

Folding hands for my mother

And my mother used to say

When she was younger

She used to go to bed

Filled with hunger

The same hunger got

Her working even harder

Got her travelling to norway from ghana

She said "My son we're blessed

Now let's say our father"

Ups and downs

That's how life go

What's high if you don't know low

So I try not to complain

Appreciate life so I keep saying

Another day goes by

Another day goes by

And I thank god that I'm alive

Another day goes by

Another day goes by

And I thank god that I'm alive

I think I was about ten years old

Watching the news with my dad

I didn't see nothing

But tears and blood

And a bunch of people looking so mad

"That's war" I was told

I said

"How that ain't nothing like the games I have"

I couldn't grasp the sense of

An innocent child

Dying by the hands of a grown man

And while some kids raised on cartoons

Young girls making money in dark rooms

We all deserve a decent meal

Why his belly so soft

Why she holding that hard spoon

And where is my head of state

If crime pays talk peace

Still engaging in heavy arms trade

In the jungle that we call sin city

While life rules

Survival of

Another day goes by

Another day goes by

And I thank god that I'm alive

Another day goes by

Another day goes by

And I thank god that I'm alive

Oh oh oh oh oh

Yeah yeah

Why why why why why

Eh eh eh eh eh

Thank god that I'm alive

Oh oh oh oh oh

Yeah yeah

Why why why why why

Yeah yeah

Eh eh eh eh eh

Thank god that I'm alive
