[New World] I'd like to teach the world to sing...

 

Living in your home, with your house in order is the simplest, most gratifying life. Earth is your home, take care of it.

The human race is, and has been for over a generation, in the middle of a revolutionary paradigm shift in consciousness, one that will only change our entire global civilization for the better - a New World.

I'd like to build a 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

For peace throughout the land

That's a song I hear

Sing it along

Let the world sing today

Over and over

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

La, la, la, la

To, do, do, do, do, do

La, la, la

I'd like to build a world a home

And furnish it with love

Grow apple trees and honey bees

And snow white turtle doves

(That's a song I hear)

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

And I'd like to hold it in my arms

And keep it company

(That's the song I hear)

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

(That's the song I hear)
