What Ah Day Lyrics - Tanya...collection Of Hits - Tanya Stephens

Verse 1 

I'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 graces 

Tired of being judged for the style in my hair 

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

Tired of life and death being sold as a pair 

and politicians who keep saying they care but 

Maybe hoping for a change is a dream 

Maybe life aint as bad as it seems 

But if dreaming is the best I can do then I'll be dreaming my whole life through 

CHO 

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 oh oh oh 

What a day when men finally live what they teach 

and love aint just a concept we preach 

and blood no longer runs in the streets 

oh oh oh, what a day 

Verse 2 

Tired of leaving church feeling like I've just been robbed 

2 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 

Tired of baby-mama, tired of baby-daddy 

Chilling in the spot where the parents should be 

Teenage mother saying "Leave ma babies alone" 

In 20 years the kid could be robbing my home but 

I got a vision of a whole other plain 

Where the spiritual can flourish again 

I'm just waiting for the fire to rain 

Burn dung everything and start clean 

(Repeat cho) 

Ooh, what a day 

Oh, what a day 

What a day, what a day 

Maybe 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 through 

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 oh oh oh
