As previously announced, the late Richard Sherman wrote a new verse as his final gift to Disney.

The last verse of this beloved song will debut in the finale scene of “it’s a small world” at Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort beginning July 17, 2025.

“it’s a small world” Finale Scene Lyrics:
Mother earth unites us in heart and mind
And the love we give makes us humankind
Through our vast wondrous land
When we stand hand in hand
It’s a small world after all.
