| Song Notes |
| |
Written
in late 1999 for the debut of Disney's ImagiNations
Parade, Disneyland Park's millennium parade, which
featured floats, characters and costumes celebrating the
continents of the world. |
Since
the parade's premature final performance in early 2001,
the track has become a general resort theme song, being
used at character gatherings and during special events.
It was even included in the 2005 CD Album
Disneyland Resort Paris En Musique, highlighting its
ongoing popularity. |

| A |
|
All around the world the sun is
shining
The dawning of a brand new day is here
All around the world we're getting ready now
To sing a song for everyone to hear
If you hold out your hand you'll understand
There's a hand reaching out just the same
All around the world a friend is
Calling out loud your name, come join us |
| |
| Chorus 1 |
Music playing, people
dancing
Children's laughter ringing 'round the world
Hopes are high for a happy tomorrow
Hand in hand in harmony |
| |
| B |
All around the world a
spirit's growing
A feeling in your heart you can't explain
All around the world an overflowing love
Is bringing us together all today
If you open your mind soon you will find
In our hearts we are all just the same
All around the world a friend is
Calling out loud your name, come join us |
| |
| Chorus 2 |
Music playing, people
dancing
Children's laughter ringing 'round the world
Hopes are high for a happy tomorrow
Hand in hand in harmony
Far away places, different places
Colours flying in a rainbow sky
Raise your voices and sing to the future
Shining bright for you and me |
| |
| C |
All around the world
the moon is shining
There's magic glowing bright up in the sky
All around the world there is a wishing star
So close your eyes and reach your dreams tonight
Listen close and you'll hear, a sound crystal clear
Growing louder and stronger each day
All around the world your friends are
Calling out loud your name, come join us |
