If I Ruled the World (Live From Augusta, GA., 1969 / 2019 Mix) Lyrics

If I ruled the world, thank you
Every day would be like the first day of spring
Then every voice would have a new song to sing
Would sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world, uh-huh
Every man would be as free as a bird
Then every voice would be a voice to be heard, take my word
And we'd treasure each day that occurred

My world is such a beautiful place
Where we would weave and seek such wonderful dreams
My world would have a smile on its face
Like the man in the moon, where the moon beams

If I ruled the world, every man would say
The world was his friend, and do you know, people
There'd be happiness that no man could end, no, my friend
Not if I ruled the world

I want you to hold, hold your head up high and be proud
And let the sun shine in everybody's sky, hey
Each day would never die
If I ruled the world
Hey, hey, hey, hey
