Lyrics of If i ruled the world

(leslie bricusse/cyril ornadel)

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 a wonderful dream
My world would wear
A smile on its face
Like the man in the moon
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 could 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 day ever dawned
When i ruled the world
If i ruled the world
