[Chorus - Akon]:   Who'd ever thought that I would see this day   Where I would see my ghetto life fade away   Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way   And now I look forward to every day   Welcome to my sunny day      [Verse 1 - Akon]:   Block don't stop, always stayed hot   No matter how the seasons got   I still remember when they took me away   Kept it on lock, then I got caught    Realized I had to stop   Then I took the time to explore a better way      Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go   I just know, there's a sunny day      [Chorus - Akon]:   Who'd ever thought that I would see this day   Where I would see my ghetto life fade away   Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way   And now I look forward to every day   Welcome to my sunny day      My sunny day   Everyday   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day   My sunny day   Every day   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day      [Verse 2 - Wyclef Jean]:   I was born in the ghetto   Raised in the ghetto   Saw my first 9 millimeter in the ghetto   Got my first kiss in the ghetto   Played hide and go seek with the girls in the ghetto   Wrote my first hit in the ghetto   Yeah Mona Lisa, can I get a date on Friday-ay-ay?   It's hard for me to let go   Life in the ghetto   The night it blessed my cousin (whoa-oa-oa)   Had to find a way out the ghetto   Picked up the guitar and started singing in the ghetto   Haters used to hate in the ghetto   Said I woulda never made it up out the ghetto   I guess that's why my cousins sold the yayo   Even though Annie said the sun come out tomorrow   But the ghetto stayed dark   I never thought I'd ever see the Billboard charts      [Chorus - Akon]:   Who'd ever thought that I would see this day   Where I would see my ghetto life fade away   Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way   And now I look forward to every day   Welcome to my sunny day      My sunny day   Everyday   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day   My sunny day   Every day   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day      [Verse 3 - Akon]:   Been a long day   On my way    To my holy place to pray   Give thanks for every blessing given to me   I know theres more to see, more to me    No more living in misery   Cause this is how I envisioned life to be      Searched high and low, so close, yet so far to go   I just know, there's a sunny day      [Chorus - Akon]:   Who'd ever thought that I would see this day   Where I would see my ghetto life fade away   Cause I was lost and couldn't find a way   And now I look forward to every day   Welcome to my sunny day      My sunny day   Everyday   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day   My sunny day   Every day   A better day   Welcome to my sunny day
