I’d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love,
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves.
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect
harmony,
I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.
I’d like to see the world for once all standing hand
in hand,
And hear them echo through the hills,
For peace throughout the land.
That’s the song I hear
Let the world sing today,
A song of peace that echoes on and never goes away.
Put your hand in my hand,
Let’s begin today,
Put your hand in my hand,
Help me find the way.
