If I Ruled The World
Donguralesko And O.S.T.R. And Sokol Lyrics

Ba-da-ba-da (woah)
Repetitive background music that adds to the instrumental of the song.

Bu-da (you)
Short utterance to emphasize the addressed person's importance.

Bu-da-bu-da (woah)
Repetitive background music with an exclamation mark indicating the building up of rhythm in the song.

Signs and wonders that the television shows
Society's fragmented reality on TV inspires anger and sadness.

Hate and poverty for the more, lets me know
Experiencing poverty and witnessing hate makes people realize the inequities in the world.

That life is a stage and we're all in the show
Life is merely an act in which people participate.

Starring the World, cause we all blow
In this play, the world is the main character, and the humans cause its demise.

(Heaven I'm calling, heaven I'm calling)
A plea made to seek help from a higher power.

If we just give each other a chance
If people would just allow one another an opportunity.

We might just fall in love
Perhaps, love is the solution to the world's problems.

Picture us (in a land)
Imagining humanity's future.

Where there's no more (no more war)
Where war no longer exists.

Shaking hands with my (brother)
Where people embrace diversity and see everyone as family.

And respecting my my my (my sisters)
Where adversity is respected.

(I'm offering) a dance that heals
A dance that could heal the political and social ills of the world.

(A melody) you can feel
A song that conveys emotion.

Love is the key
Love holds the answer to humanity's problems.

All it takes is you and me
Individually, people can make a change.

If I could make the world dance (whoa if I could make them dance)
If the world moved in a rhythm only humans shared.

Then they would dance something like this
The world would move in a relational dance.

If I could make the world groove (whoa if I could make them groove)
If humans found their humanity and shared it with others.

Then they would groove something like this
People would be more unified in their shared humanity.

If I could make the world sing (whoa if I could make them sing)
If people gave a happy and harmonious tune to their existence.

Then they would sing something like this
Then humans would peacefully coexist.

If I could make the world love (if I could make them love
If humanity could embrace each other and our similarities.

If I could make the love one another)
To forge peace and understanding amongst ourselves.

Then it would be something like this
Humanities' future, a collective supportive community.

Tell me why can't more hungry people overcome
Why do some continue to starve despite readily available resources?

When they've got the means to build bombs, yeah
Why does the world spend money and resources on war machines instead of feeding the hungry?

We're so quick to say God Bless America
Humanity is quick to say that the United States is a successful country.

But take away In God We Trust
But when the motto is removed, national inequities are revealed.

Tell me what the hell is wrong with us
We are left to ask ourselves why we are not addressing these issues.

People, there's got to be
There must be a solution to this human suffering.

A place that we can go
A better future is possible.

And dance out the day
To celebrate the potential of humanity.

So meet me at the
Come together as community.

Spot that we used to go
Remember where you come from. Remember where we used to gather.

And just step the night away
In this future, we do not worry about tomorrow.

Please let's just rewind time
A desire to go back to a time when passion and love governed our society.

And go back because I miss those days
A longing for a time when things appeared to be simpler.

Chocolate Factory
A reference to the popular Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory used sarcastically amidst the whole lyrics.

If I could make the world dance
The possibility of belonging to a community where joy is a daily thing.

I truly would
The singer would make such a world a reality.

Marvin Gaye inspired me to write that one ya'll
The singer alludes to being inspired by Marvin Gaye, a Motown artist known for his music's political and social commentary.

Just as Frankie Beverley inspired me to write love street
The singer alludes to being inspired by Frankie Beverly, a Motown artist known for his music's passionate themes.

You know every day is a special occasion ya'll
The singer acknowledges that every day is a day to celebrate life.

You know why? Cause you woke up this morning
The singer emphasizes the important role of every person in shaping a better future.

Happy People baby
Celebrating the potential that humans possess.
