And I built my house
I built it on a hill
So I could see my enemy
From all directions

But I was scared to stay
And I was scared to leave
Cause it's one big world
Where no one knows your name

But with the meeting of our hands
The world just gets smaller
We feel the same, we understand
The world just gets smaller
Without the hate inside our hearts
The world just gets smaller
We'll never split this world apart
The world just gets smaller

So I wandered down
To where my neighbor lived
Cause I was lonely for
A new companion

But he would not look at me
Cause I was not like him
And it's one big world
When faces turn away

But with the meeting of our hands
The world just gets smaller
We feel the same, we understand
The world just gets smaller
Without the hate inside our hearts
The world just gets smaller
The world just gets smaller

Just keep 'em all in one place
No welcome for a strange face
Teeth shining under lips' curl
Sometimes it's such a big, big world

And I gathered sticks
And I gathered stones
So I could throw them out to show
That I was stronger

But I was scared to use them
And I was scared to let them go
Cause it's one big world
When each man stands alone

But with the meeting of our hands
The world just gets smaller
We feel the same, we understand
The world just gets smaller
Without the hate inside our hearts
The world just gets smaller
We'll never split this world apart
The world just gets smaller

Cause it's one big world where no one knows your name
Cause it's one big world when faces turn away
Cause it's one big world when each man stands alone
Cause it's one big world when no place feels like home

The world just gets smaller
