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
