it was a world of hatred, a world of strife
where hearts grew bitter and numb to life
but ignoring the pain
the people still sang
it’s a small world, after all
multitudes lived out their lives of ease
while others were lacking their basic needs
though the poor cried in vain
all heard the refrain
it’s a small world, after all
wealthy men’s dumpsters were filled to full
while the hungry were starving outside their doors
the rich entertained
while they sang and they sang
it’s a small world, after all
humans were bound in captivity
greedy appetites funded their slavery
hungry for more,
oppressing the poor
it’s a small, small world
nations went bankrupt, destroyed by greed
though warnings poured forth, they failed to heed
corrupted, they spent
until drowned in their debt
it’s a small world, after all
children with guns killed potential friends
reports of destruction were without end
the suffering went on
yet still, came the song
it’s a small world…after all
cultures destroyed due to race and skin
terrorists blinded by mortal sin
innocence failed
while hatred prevailed
it’s a small world, after all?
battles were fought, countless lives were lost
still, they neglected to count the cost
fighting wars uncontained
until no one remained
it’s a small, small world
