If I Ruled the World

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

Where we would weave

Such a wonderful dream

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 day ever dawned

When I ruled the world

If I ruled the world
