I'd like to build a world a home
and furnish it with love.
Grow apple trees and honey bees
and snowwhite 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

help me find the way.
