If I ruled the world,
Ev'ry day would be the first day of spring,
Ev'ry heart would have a new song to sing,
And we'd sing of the joy ev'ry morning would bring.
If I ruled the world,
Ev'ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev'ry voice would be a voice to be heard -
Take my word, we would treasure each day that occurred.
Bridge:
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,
Ev'ry 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.
Ev'ry head would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in ev'ryone's sky,
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.
