I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing



I'd like to build the world a home

 and furnish it with love

For 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

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)

                                          what the world wants to see

 in perfect harmony (perfect harmony)

 A song of peace that echoes on 

and never goes away

Put your hand in my hand let's begin today

With your hand in my hand let 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
