Where have all the good men gone The ones that held in their arms Justice for all mankind And listened until they heard both sides Is this reality We can't define what makes us care to breath But if I ruled the world I'd sail the seas Looking for someone to tell me what it means To love without taking Hold with gentle ease To stay where you can't see what's really beneath If I ruled the world If I ruled the world Hide me where the bodies lie The ones that gathered over time Of saints who tried to reason why But the world prefers a darkened sky Oh to be naive To think we live just to die in peace But if I ruled the world I'd sail the seas Looking for someone to tell me what it means To love without taking Hold with gentle ease To stay where you can't see what's really beneath If I ruled the world If I ruled the world Find me on the other side I'll be trying to lose my mind There's no shattered pride When you realize That you're just tossing in the tide But if I ruled the world I'd sail the seas Looking for someone to tell me what it means To love without taking Hold with gentle ease To stay where you can't see what's really beneath If I ruled the world If I ruled the world
