Lyrics
A Brighter Day
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 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 yo brother
I wanna tell ya, all the people have a brighter day
Ohh ohh can ya hear what the little boy say
