[Intro: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alone

[Verse 1: Tom Parker, Siva Kaneswaran]
Someday when you get older
You're gonna see the world
Far away from where you grow up
You'll find yourself for sure

[Pre-Chorus: Nathan Sykes]
When you reach the stars, reach the stars
Don't you ever change who you are
And together we came this far
So far

[Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alonе
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh
Wе all wanna rule the world
Ooh
[Verse 2: Jay McGuiness, Tom Parker]
People, they'll try to tell you
Who you're supposed to be
They only see the outline
But not the in-between

[Pre-Chorus: Nathan Sykes, Max George]
When you reach the stars, reach the stars (Ooh)
Don't you ever change who you are (Ooh)
And together we came this far (We came this far, ooh)
So far

[Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Face carved into stone
We all wanna rule the world
But can't do it alone
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh

[Post-Chorus: Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh
[Outro: Siva Kaneswaran, Max George]
We all wanna rule the world
Ooh
We all wanna rule the world
