If I ruled the world, every day would be like the first day of spring Every voice would have a new song to sing We'd sing of the joy every morning would bring If I ruled the world, every man would be as free as a bird Do you know every voice would be a voice to be heard Take my word and we'd treasure each day that occurred My world is such a beautiful place Where we would weave and seek such wonderful dreams My world would have 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 Do you know, there'd be happiness that no man could end No my friend, not if I ruled the world So hold your, hold your head up high Let the sun shine in everyone's sky Oh, oh, each day will never dawn When I rule the world
