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 the song I hear, let the world sing today
A song of peace that echoes on and never goes away
Put your hand in my hand, Let’s begin today
Put your hand in my hand, Help me find the way.
