James Brown
If I Ruled the World (Single Version)
If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of spring
Every voice would have a new song to sing
We'll sing of a joy every morning would bring

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

My world is such beautiful place
Where we can 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, ha
There'd be happiness that no man could end
No, my friend
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
