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
