If I Ruled the World

If I ruled the world,

     There'd be no place for heretics of peace
     No crown for kings or queens of deceit
     All selfish shadows I'd bade to cease
     Pain from sorrow would never meet

     If I ruled the world,
 
     Every breath would taste the first day of spring
     Every heart would speak love's sweet murmurings
     Tears sting would never blur one's view
     Every hope would find its way to come true.
