My baby came to me today
And told me to pack all of my things up
So happy he was, with a laughter in his eyes
He said we're going to Jamaica
I said "you may be nice, young but you're not the leader,
Bet you didn't know you're on the wrong destination"
But he didn't care, so I wished him welfare in Jamaica

I wanna help the fishermen catch the fish
I wanna help the fish get away from the fishermen
Well, he went away and I'm here by the window
Tryin' to catch a glimpse of sun

Tryin' to catch a glimpse of sun
I wanna sit under a palm tree
I wanna think of my own country
I wanna listen to an old and wise man
Talking about equality and peace and one love
I want him to tell me
I want him to tell me
I want him to look me in the eye and tell me
That everything's gonna be just fine
Everything's gonna be just fine
Everything, everything, eveything's gonna be just fine
Everything's gonna be OK
Everything's gonna be OK
Everything oh, everything oh
Everything's gonna be OK
But i'm stuck in the traffic and i'm getting frantic
Nothing is static, I need a new tactic
I'm stuck in the traffic, and though i'm always frantic
This time I looked around and said
