Lyrics

They say it's a small world
but I wonder, how small can it be
with so many people
and so much diversity?

From commuters jam packed in Japan
to wandering shepherds in Afghanistan;
from Malaysian rice farmers flooding their lands
to Berbers herding camels on desert sands:
Billions of people work hard every day,
each in a special way, all over this world.

In an Inuit Igloo made of snow;
in a casa de adobe in Mexico;
in a Hollywood mansion if you can afford it;
on the space station spinning in Low Earth Orbit:
Billions of people keep house every day,
each in a special way, all over this world.

'Cause it's a big world after all.
It's a big world after all.
It's a big world after all.
It's a big, big world. It's a big, big world.
It's a big, big, big, big, beautiful world.

In the synagogues of the Jews;
at the shrines and temples of the Hindus;
from the Southern Baptists in Bible school
to the Whirling Dervishes of Istanbul:
Billions of people worship every day,
each in a special way, all over this world.

Sometimes it feels crowded
on this one little planet we share,
but when we show respect for diversity
we find there's plenty of room: plenty of room to spare!

'Cause it's a big world after all.
It's a big world after all.
It's a big world after all.
It's a big, big world. It's a big, big world.
It's a big, big, big, big, beautiful, big, big, big, big, beautiful,
big, big, big, big, beautiful world.
