The Righteous Brothers — If I Ruled the World

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
