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 wonderful dreams.

My world would wear a smile on its face,

Like the man in the moon has 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
