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
I'd like to hold it in my arms
Let's everybody sing now.
I'd like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
Of peace throughout the land
Let the world sing today,
a song of peace that echoes on
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with lots of love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
I'd like to teach the world to sing
I'd like to hold it in my arms
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.
let the world sing today.
A song of peace that echoes on
Let the world sing today,
Don't you forget to sing it
