I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing

I'd like to build a 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.

It's the real thing

what the world wants today,

That's the way it'll stay

with the real thing.

I'd like to teach the world to sing

in perfect harmony.

A song of peace that echoes on

and never goes away.

Put your hand in my hand

let's begin today,

With your hand in my hand

help me find a way.

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.

I'd like to teach the world to sing,

in perfect harmony.

A song of peace that echoes on,

and never goes away.
