  • There's a little bitty boy down in Jamaica
    Who has the gift of seeing second sight
    He sees the world and all it's troubles
    But inside his heart the sun is shining bright

    So everybody shout to your brother
    Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
    Oh oh oh shout to your brother
    So all the people have a brighter day

    Well the network news went down to the island
    To try to understand the things he sees
    But he just laughed and he waved at the camera
    He said open up your mind and follow me

    So everybody shout to your brother
    Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
    Oh oh oh shout to your brother
    So all the people have a brighter day

    When people go to war it hurts us all you see
    They don't feel the need to congregate
    I may be just a boy but I am not a fool

    Our leaders need to simplify instead of complicate

    So everybody shout to your brother
    Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
    Oh oh oh shout to your brother
    So all the people have a brighter day

    Everybody, yeah, everybody

    Everybody shout to your brother
    Everybody sing, can ya hear him say
    Oh oh oh shout to your brother
    So all the people have a brighter day

    Everybody shout, to the little bitty boy
    Everybody sing, all the people just gotta believe
    Oh oh oh shout to your brother
    I wanna tell ya, all the people have a brighter day

    Ohh ohh can ya hear what the little boy say Writer/s: TOM JOHNSTON
