I'd Like To Teach The World Sing Lyrics - Jan Howard

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
