I feel the time, the time has come
It's underneath my, underneath my thumb
Maybe I don't stand a chance
But then maybe I could
So with the devil I'll dance
And knock on wood
If I could rule the world
Oh, if I could rule the world
I'd take the pain, take the pain from your heart
And I would tear it all up apart, I'd tear it all apart
I would drown out the cries with redemption songs
I'd part the truth from the lies
And the right from the wrong
Yeah, if I could rule the world
Oh, if I could rule the world
I'd be the king with the commoner's crown
You'd be the queen and let your heart reign down
Reign down, reign down
When the day is done
When the day has passed
And a new light shines
A new light is cast
Give a run for your worth
And play the cards at hand
Fight the troubles at birth
And know where you stand
And remember
That if I could rule the world
Yeah, if I could rule the world
Oh, if I could rule the world
Yeah, if I could rule the world
You'd be my queen
You'd be my queen
You'd be my queen
I feel the time, the time has come
