Disney announced a brand-new finale verse is coming to “it’s a small world,” written by legendary songwriter Richard Sherman.

The new lyrics, penned shortly before Sherman’s passing, are meant to unite guests in hope and peace as the attraction’s message for a new generation.

Fans of the iconic song can look forward to hearing Sherman’s final contribution to Disney magic later this year.
