Another Day Lyrics - Black Star Elephant - Nico & Vinz

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 engage in heavy arms trade 

In the jungle that we call Sin City 

While life rules, survival of the fittest 

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 (Yeah) 

Eh, eh, eh, eh (Thank God that I'm alive) 

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh yeah, yeah) 

Why, why, why, why (Yeah) 

Eh, eh, eh, eh (Thank God that I'm alive)
