Intro: verse 1 If I ruled the world Everyday would be the first day of spring Every heart would have a new song to sing And we'd sing of the joy every mornin' would bring verse 2 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 occured My world would be a beautiful place Where we'd greet such wonderful dreams And my world would wear a smile on it's face Like the man in the moon had sent a moon beam verse 3 If I ruled the world Every 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 Bridge Every head would be held way up high There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky If the day ever dawned That I ruled the world Riff Outro Every head would be held way up high There'd be sunshine in everyone's sky If the day ever dawned That I ruled the world
