I'd like to build a world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honeybees And snow-white turtle doves 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 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 That’s the song I hear Let the world sing today A song of peace that echoes on And never goes away Put your hand in my hand Let’s begin today Put your hand in my hand Help me find the way [Dance break] I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony And 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
