(r. cook/r. greenway/b. backer/b. davis) 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 Chorus: 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 (that's the song I hear) I'd like to see the world for once (let the world sing today) All standing hand in hand And hear them echo through the hills For peace throughout the land That's the song I hear (that's the song I hear) Let the world sing today (let the whole wide world keep singing) A song of peace that echoes on And never goes away (repeat 1st stanza and chorus) Put your hand in my hand Let's begin today Put your hand in my hand Help me find a way (repeat chorus til fade)
