I'd feed all those hungry children down by the tracks
|
I'd give Mom and Dad some of their young years back
|
I'd let all those crippled children get up and run
|
I'd take the blind and lead them out into the shining sun
|
If I could have the world the way I want it what a day tomorrow could be
|
If I could have the world the way I want it I would set these children free
|
|
I'd pay the debts of all the poor and let them start anew
|
I'd find each man who wants to work a decent job to do
|
I'd give hope to the hopeless and I'd give the sick their health
|
I'd give the high and mighty heart to share the nation's wealth
|
If I could have the world the way I want it...

|
I'd take all those sad and hungry people off of the street
|
Each weary walking traveler would have shoes upon his feet
|
I'd find the young men in the far off places of the world
|
I'd bring them home to see their fathers mothers and their girls
|
If I could have the world the way I want it...
