SONG

It’s a small world (after all)

It's a world of laughter, a world of tears

it’s a world of hopes, it’s a world of fear

there’s so much that we share

that it’s time we're aware

it’s a small world after all

CHORUS:




it’s a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun

And a smile means friendship to everyone.

Though the mountains divide

And the oceans are wide

It's a small world after all

(chorus)
