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 And my world would wear a smile on its face Like the man on the moon as 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
