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

Ever had a song at the back of your mind, constantly probing, ringing, swirling up there. Irritating. Very. I need a new song to occupy that spot desperately.

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"

I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
