If I Ruled the World (Live at Memorial Auditorium, Dallas, 1968)

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

If I ruled the world
Every man would be as free as a bird
Do you know, every voice would be a voice to be heard
Take my word
And we'd treasure each day that occurred

My world is such beautiful place
Where we would seek such a wonderful dream
My world would have a smile on it's 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
Do you know, there'd be happiness that no man could end
No, my friend
Not if I ruled the world
All y'all, hold your head up high
Let the sun shine in everyone's sky, oh, oh...
When I rule the world

So hold your head up high
Let the sun shine
In everyone's sky
Each day will never dawn
When I rule the world
