If  I  ruled  the  world,
Every  day  would  be  the  first  day  of  spring,
Every  heart  would  have  a  new  song  to  sing,
And  we'd  sing  of  the  joy  every  morning  would  bring.
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  occurred.
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  has  when  the  moon  beams.
If  I  ruled  the  world,
Every  man  would  say  the  world  was  his  friend,
There'd  be  happiness  that  no  man  coud  end,
No  my  friend,not  if  I  ruled  the  world.
Every  head  would  be  held  up  high,
There'd  be  sunshine  in  everyone's  sky,
If  the  day  ever  dawned  when  I  ruled  the  world
