When youÂ're feeling all alone

Just pick up the telephone

Wherever you are, you are home

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

Jokes for laughing, tears to cry

Babies born and old folks die

Where on earth donÂ't that apply

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world

And weÂ'll always think weÂ're different and weÂ'll always be the same

Â'Cause weÂ're going one direction in a million different ways

Every single lonely heart

Thinks theyÂ're the only one in the dark

But somewhere someoneÂ's wishing on the same star

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world

And weÂ'll always think weÂ're different and weÂ'll always be the same

Â'Cause weÂ're going one direction in a million different ways

No matter where youÂ're standing

We all want the same thing

Peace and love and understanding

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a big world, itÂ's a small world

ItÂ's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world

And weÂ'll always think weÂ're different and weÂ'll always be the same

Â'Cause weÂ're going one direction in a million different ways

And weÂ'll always think weÂ're different and weÂ'll always be the same

Â'Cause weÂ're going one direction in a million different ways
