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 them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
(Is the real thing)
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
(perfect harmony)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away
It's the real thing (I'd like to teach the world to sing)
What the world wants today (And furnish it with love)
That's the way it will stay (Grow apple trees and honey bees)
With the real thing (And snow white turtle doves)
It's the real thing (I'd like to teach the world to sing)
Won't you hear what I say? (In perfect harmony)
What the world needs today (I'd like to hold it in my arms)
Is the real thing (And keep it company)
Is the real thing (I'd like to teach the world to sing)
What the world wants today (In perfect harmony)
That's the way it will stay (A song of peace that echoes on)
With the real thing (And never goes away)
Is the real thing...
