Lyrics If I Ruled The World - 1968 Outtake - Stevie Wonder

If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of spring
And every heart would have a new song to sing
And you know we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring

If I ruled the world
Every man would be as free as a bird
And every voice would be a voice to be heard
Why don't you take my word?
We would treasure every day that occurred

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams
And 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 so much happiness that no one could end
No, my friend
Not if I ruled the world

And every man would hold his head up high
There'd be sunshine in everybody's sky
Ooh, if a day ever dawned that I
If I had anything to do with it I think it should be
If I ruled the world
