What A Day

Oh, what a day, oh

Oh, what a day, oh

Day, what a day, what a day, oh, ohI'm tired of the hunger I see on people's faces

Tired of the animosity between the races

Tired of corruption in high and low places

And pricks with money but no social gracesTired of being judged for the style in my hair

And the music that I listen and the clothes that I wear

I'm tired of life and death being sold as a pair

And politicians who keep saying they care butMaybe hoping for a change is a dream

Maybe life ain't as bad as it seems

But if dreaming is the best I can do

Then I'll be dreaming my whole life throughOh, what a day when war becomes a thing of the past

And peace, we will have it at last

And life is finally worth its cost

And woah, woah, ohWhat a day when men finally live what they teach

And love ain't just a concept we preach

And blood no longer runs in the streets

Woah, woah, woah, oh, what a dayTired of leaving church, feeling like I've just been robbed

Two hours of rambling, not much mention of God

The richest man's the only one who does not have a job

A bunch of righteous freaks extorting worse than the mob, y'allTired of baby, momma, tired of baby, daddy

Chilling in the spot where the parents should be

Teenage mother saying, "Leave my babies alone"

In 20 years the kid could be robbing my home butI got a vision of a whole other plain

Where the spiritual can flourish again

I'm just awaiting for the fire to rain

Burn dung everything and start cleanWhat a day when war becomes a thing of the past

And peace, we will have it at last

And life is finally worth its cost

And woah, woah, ohOh, what a day when men finally live what they teach

And love ain't just a concept we preach

And blood no longer runs in the streets

And woah, woah, woah, oh, what a dayOoh, what a day

Oh, what a day

Oh, what a day, what a day, what a dayMaybe hoping for a change is a dream

Maybe life ain't as bad as it seems

But if dreaming is the best I can do

Then I'll be dreaming my whole life throughOh, what a day when war becomes a thing of the past

And peace, we will have it at last

And life is finally worth its cost

And woah, woah, woah
