It's a small world (after all)

What better way to teach kids about a global family than in a song format.

When the concept of "Small world" was created, the original theme song was a mix of national anthems around the world - which resulted in 'disharmonic' cacophony. That is when Walt Disney suggested he wanted a simple song which spread the universal message of peace and brotherhood. The song was initially a ballad which was later pepped up into it's current cheerful version. Here is "It's a small world" originally written by the famous Sherman Brothers. 

My boys love it. Apart from the whimsical designs and color styling of the theme, the song itself is so simple, catchy and full of life.

The simpler, the catchier - 

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, small world


There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
