Lyrics
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 sing
In perfect harmony
(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
(Peace and love)
(It's the real thing)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
(Perfect harmony)
A song of peace that echos on
And never goes away
Put your hand in my hand
Let's begin today
With your hand in my hand
Help me find the 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
(It's the real thing)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
(Perfect harmony)
A song of peace that echos on
And never goes away
(It's the real thing)
I'd like to teach to sing
In perfect harmony
