If I Ruled the World (From Pickwick)

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 wonderful dreams

My world would wear a smile on its face

Like the man in the moon has 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 the day ever dawned when I ruled the world
