If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of Spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing

And we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world

Every man would be as free as a bird
Every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred


My world would be a beautiful place
My world would wear a smile on its face

Like the man in the moon when the moon beams

If I ruled the world

Every man would say the world was his friend
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No my friend, not if I ruled the world


Every head would be held up high
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky

If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
