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 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
