I'd like to build the world a home

"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

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
