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 [bad word] 
That’s the real thing like I know you want it
ooow like I know you need it

I`d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
`Ah, peace throughout the land`

I`d like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I`d like to hold it in my arms 
And keep [bad word] 
That’s the real thing like I know you want it
ooow like I know you need it
