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 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
