Id 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
I'd like to see the world for once All standing hand in hand And hear them echo through the hills "Ah, peace throughout the land"
(That's the song I hear) I'd like to teach the world to sing (that the world sings today) In perfect harmony
I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony
Id like to build the world a home And furnish it with love Grow apple trees and honey bees and snow-white turtle doves
NOTE: "Call and response" singing can be typed with the background singers' words in (parentheses) BUT from here on both the lead singer and background singers are, for the most part, singing simultaneously-which is impossible to represent typographically.
