When you're feeling all alone
Just pick up the telephone
Wherever you are, you are home
It's a big world, it's a small world

Jokes for laughing, tears to cry
Babies born and old folks die
Where on earth don't that apply
It's a big world, it's a small world

It's a big world, it's a small world
It's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we'll always think we're different and we'll always be the same
'Cause we're going one direction in a million different ways

Every single lonely heart
Thinks they're the only one in the dark
But somewhere someone's wishing on the same star
It's a big world, it's a small world

It's a big world, it's a small world
It's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we'll always think we're different and we'll always be the same
'Cause we're going one direction in a million different ways

No matter where you're standing
We all want the same thing
Peace and love and understanding
It's a big world, it's a small world

It's a big world, it's a small world
It's a weird, wild, wide-open, wonderful world
And we'll always think we're different and we'll always be the same
'Cause we're going one direction in a million different ways

And we'll always think we're different and we'll always be the same
'Cause we're going one direction in a million different ways
