Song Lyrics

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 and the moon has, when the moon beams.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There'd be happiness that no man could end,
No my friend, not if I ruled the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky.
If the day ever dawned,
Will I rule the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
Every star would shine in everyone's sky.
If the day ever dawned,
Will I rule the world.
