It's a Small World (With Guiding Verses)
(The additional verses to "It's a Small World" were written by Ashfield Division Guiders, Nottinghamshire, UK, in the 1960's.)

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

Chorus:

It's a small world after all

It's a small world after all

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

It's a world of Guiding, a world of fun

It's a world of aims, but we work as one

There's so much that we share

That it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all.

You can go to China or go to Spain

And the Guiding Handshake will be the same

We have friends in Japan,

Mexico, Pakistan,

It's a small world after all.

It's a world of colour, a pretty sight,

Red and yellow and brown and black and white

And yet under our skin,

We are all kith & kin

It's a small world after all

Some may live in houses, in tents in shacks

And what one man has yet another lacks

There's so much that we share,

That it's time we're aware

It's a small world after all

How we live our lives we must each decide,

Every Guide & Ranger & Brownie Guide

Throughout Guiding we find,

Both in body & mind

It's a small world after all
