Intro: (one strum per chord) (4x) Intro part 2: (normal strumming, only strum (4x) If I had my own world I'd fill it with wealth and desire The glorious past to admire And voices of kids out walking dogs, birds, planes, trains and cars If I had my own world I'd love it for all that's inside it There'd be no more wars, death or riots There'd be no more police, packed-parking lots, guns, bombs sounding off If I had my own world ) I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence (2x) Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch your words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder Interlude: (Same as Intro part 2, 2x) If I had my own world I'd show you the life that's inside it The way that it glows when you find it The way it survives with its families, friends or its enemies Let's make this a new world I swear you can go if you want to I know that you have that within you Inventing the first clean and usable, God's greatest miracle If I had my own world ) I'd build you an empire From here to the far lands To spread love like violence (2x) Let me feel you, carry you higher Watch your words spread hope like fire Secret crowds rise up and gather Hear your voices sing back louder (4x)
