James Brown - If I Ruled The World

If I ruled the world, ev＇ry 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, ev＇ry man would be as free as a bird,
Ev＇ry 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 coud 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
