Tom T. Hall - The World The Way I Want It lyrics

I'd feed all those hungry children
Down by the tracks
I'd give Mom and Dad some
Of their young years back
I'd let all those crippled children
Get up and run
I'd take the blind and lead them
Out into the shining sun

If I could have the world the way I want it
What a day tomorrow could be
If I could have the world the way I want it
I would set these children free

I'd pay the debts of all the
Poor and let them start anew
I'd find each man who wants to
Work a decent job to do
I'd give hope to the hopeless and
I'd give the sick their health
I'd give the high and mighty heart
To share the nation's wealth

I'd take all those sad and hungry
People off of the street
Each weary walking traveler would have
Shoes upon his feet
I'd find the young men in the
Far off places of the world
I'd bring them home to see their
Fathers mothers and their girls
