Cullum, Jamie - If I Ruled The World Lyrics






If I ruled the world,
Every day would be the first day of spring.
Every heart would have a new song to sing,
and we'd sing of the joy every morning would bring.

If I ruled the world,
Every man would be as free as a bird.
Every voice would be a voice to be heard,
take my word we would treasure each day that occurred.

My world would be a beautiful place
Where we would weave such wonderful dreams.
My world would wear a smile on its face,
like the man and the moon has, when the moon beams.

[piano solo]

If I ruled the world,
Every man would see the world was his friend. Yeah
There'd be happiness that no man could end,
no my friend, not if I ruled the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
There'd be sunshine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will I rule the world.

Every hand would be held up high,
Every star would shine in everyones sky.
If the day ever dawned,
will I rule the world.

    I'd be honored if some Jamie Cullum fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of WHEN I WAS YOUR MAN by Bruno Mars and SEPTEMBER by Earth Wind & Fire on my channel in tribute to the legends. Live acoustic with no digital enhancements. Thanks and keep on grooving.

    muy buen tema

  12. C.... A....

    Amo simplesmente

  13. j.... ....

    taylor swift totally ripped off this chord progression on "Wildest Dreams"

    j.... ....

    i know it's a cover song, but Jamie totally re-harmonized it, so she (or more likely her producers/writers) ripped him off

  14. E.... D....

    I'm here bcos Do Kyungsoo recommendation song 😂

    E.... D....

    Amazing !!!!

  16. T.... S....

    If I ruled the world it'd be impossible to dislike Jamie Cullum's songs

    Oh wait, maybe it already is

    T.... S....

    Fica quieto, guri

    T.... S....

    Sounds a bit like a dictatorship. If ruled the world people could like what they liked!

  17. C.... P....

    A.... J....

    +Altair150 absolutely.

    A.... J....

  22. J.... L....

    he is the most unde rated artist.. according to me

    J.... L....

    @James Lammie to be underrated you have to be an underdog which he is not.
    He is a star back home and he tours around the world filling parks, arenas and halls. How's that for underrated? And what is this need for people to call artists underrated? Get over it and just appreciate what he does.

    J.... L....

    fuck you rui. little bitch

    J.... L....

    Nic Hodge lol he speaks truth though.

  50. D.... B....

    I can't stop swooning. Hot damn what a voice.

  51. P.... ....

    At on side its so sad and at the other side its so lovely

  52. E.... N....

    Black horse hill'ers :( xoxox

  53. S.... A....

    he's a real musician... he plays the piano very well and his voice is awsome on tape as well as live

  54. A.... G....

    this reminds me of a awesome moment with my best friend, a few days after we went to a Jamie Cullum concert we were in the car by the beach watching a storm in the ocean listening to Jamie Cullum and i remenber this particular song.

  55. N.... F....

    I like your way of thinking musicalfreak197......this young man is...is....yes...the best !

  56. m.... ....

    just good, no, not good, wonderful, no, not wonderful, amazing... fucking amazing, no, not like that... you can't describe it- it's so simple - it's the best!

  57. c.... ....

    i guess those 18 people don't rule the world...

  58. J.... e....

    It is my favorite song, since it is a sign of love between my mother and me. Now we are a little far one from the other, but whenever I think of her I hear it. Thank you for you such a good musician. You're great and my idol.Kisses from Spain Pasate here soon Please!

    J.... e....

    Very nice.

  59. S.... A....

    Hatfields!

  60. K.... D....

    I can appreciate your humor, good sir.

    I think this song is about the idea that, if we could have our way, this world would be perfect. However, life, although wonderful, continues to be a struggle and battle for such perfection. It's why we create songs such as this. Even the solo in this song seems perfectly crafted, a short outburst, cry and longing for perfection.

  61. A.... C....

    Can't get enough of this song. Been listening to it for years now, and I can't go a day without.

  62. c.... c....

    coolness drifted from his voice and his notes of music §§

  63. J.... S....

    when people say feel good music i think Jamie Cullum :) this guy is amazing!

  64. C.... G....

    Shame on the 16 dislikes. Shame I say!

  65. K.... M....

    he is!

  66. b.... ....

    hmm... I believe, music rules the world!!! ;)

  67. T.... ....

    Amen to that.

  68. t.... ....

    Jamie's smoother than Buble`

    t.... ....

    And better.

    this song is a master piece.
    it's so rare these days ...

  74. x.... ....

  91. v.... ....

    Oh my goooood I love this one!!!!!

  92. F.... ....

    @nadakitsch Definitely so, one of my pet peeves is when the instruments drown out the singers/vocalists. this jas been my year for music, too.

  93. n.... ....

    @FoxFanFla2 I was thinking the same...

  94. n.... ....

    Love the first and last part of the music... but I would cut the bridge in the middle.

  95. S.... ....
