I´D LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING

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 in perfect harmony.

I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.

 

It’s the real thing what the world wants today.

That’s the way it will stay with the real thing.

It’s the real thing, won’t you hear what I say?

What the world needs today is the real thing.

 

I’d like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand – standing hand in hand.

And hear that echo through the hills

For peace through all the land - it´s the real thing.

 

I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony - perfect harmony.

I saw on the peace that echo goes on and never goes away.

 

It’s the real thing what the world wants today.

That’s the way it will stay with the real thing.

It’s the real thing, won’t you hear what I say?

What the world needs today is the real thing.

 

It’s the real thing what the world wants today

That’s the way it will stay with the real thing…
