Intro: 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
