It's a Small World (After All)
Song Lyrics & Words
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to every one
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
Alternative Lyrics & Words
It's a world of laughter
- A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
- And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
- That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all

I sang this song when I was in grade 1 at a school assembly. Now I'm in grade 7, almost 8, and I found the lyrics stashed up in an old envelope, and so I did the first logical thing: I googled it, and sooo many results came up, I was, literally, shocked.

I remember that our kindergarten class performed this in a school function in little matching outfits *sigh* I'm in my third year of college now

This isn't necessarily for the site. It's a pity this site for children includes mis-spellings and bad grammar. Eg "their" is the possessive not "there"'; "sadness" is the noun not "sad". Perhaps someone could read over the entries and correct them.
