That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

It's a Small World
Baha Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's a small world, it's a small world
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope 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
(Everybody now) it's a small world after all, it's a small, small, small, small world
There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone
Though the mountains be wide and the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all (Come on, come on)
(Everybody now) it's a small world after all (can you hear me now) it's a small world after all
(Everybody now) it's a small world after all, it's a small, small, small, small world
It's a small world after all, no matter if you're big or small
Come on everybody let's bounce to this
Let's play some love with a little twist
It's a small world, it's a small world
It's a world of laughter, a world of tears
It's a world of hope 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 world
(Everybody now) it's a small world after all, it's a small world after all
(Everybody now) it's a small world after all, it's a small, small, small, small world (can you hear me now?)
It's a small world after all (come on, come on)
It's a small, small, small, small world (come on, come on)
It's a small world, after all (can you hear me now?)
It's a small world after all (come on, come on)
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small, small, small world (pretty small eh)
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, small, small world
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, small, small world
The Baha Men's "It's a Small World" lyrics describe a world that is both big and small simultaneously. The song highlights the fact that we share a lot more in common than we think, and it's time we become aware of this. The lines "It's a world of laughter, a world of tears, it's a world of hope and a world of fears" emphasize that the world is filled with both good and bad, but we all experience these emotions.
The lyrics are a reminder that despite differences in geography, language, and culture, we are all human beings and we can all be friends. The song's chorus emphasizes this point, with the repetition of the phrase "it's a small world after all" to indicate that there is more that unites us than divides us.
Moreover, the lyrics of the song also stress that one can find unity in diversity. The line "There is just one moon and one golden sun, and a smile means friendship to everyone" highlights that despite contextual differences and diversity, we all share basic universal experiences and can extend basic affability to one another to connect as friends.
Overall, the lyrics of the song champion unity, compassion, and connection with others, despite perceived differences.
