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.
