Lyrics
Small World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Children seem to have no choice
The children have got no voice
They're merely living to grow old
Letting their days unfold
And it's time that you and I
Realised that by and by
These children grow up into men
It is clear what we must do
What the Lord has told us to
Give our brothers a chance
To be born again
It's a small world, a small world
When you see it through
A pair of haitian eyes
It's a small world, a small world
When the dreams you dream
Melt into haitian skies
It's just not good enough to say
That the trouble's too far away
Cos the little that you need to give
Could help a little child to live
Help them live a little longer
Help them grow a little stronger
So why not play a part
If you're ever gonna do
What the Lord has told us to
It's got to begin within your heart
It's a small world, a small world
When you reach out and touch
a stranger
From where you stand
It's a small world, a small world
When you can forge another link
In a far off land
Repeat last two lines
It's a small world, a small world
When you can forge another link
In a far off land
