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...
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.
Every hand would be held up high.
There'd be sunshine in every warm sky.
If the day ever dawned when I ruled the world.
If I ruled the world, every man would say the world was his friend.
If I ruled the world, every man would say the world was his friend.
