If I ruled the world
I would make it simple
For everyone to live
There'd be more laughter
And there would be more love
No one would be afraid
[Pre-Chorus]
I would turn these knives into pens
And erase the lines in the sand
We would write our stories together
In a book that would never end
[Chorus]
Knives and pens, they're just tools
It's how you use them that counts
You can use them to create or destroy
It's all in your hands
[Verse 2]
If I ruled the world
I would turn the deserts into gardens
I would make the oceans clear
The forests would be lush
And the animals would be free
Everyone would be fed
[Pre-Chorus]
I would turn these knives into pens
And erase the lines in the sand
We would write our stories together
In a book that would never end
[Chorus]
Knives and pens, they're just tools
It's how you use them that counts
You can use them to create or destroy
It's all in your hands
[Bridge]
I know I can't change the world
But I can change my own mind
I can choose to see the good in people
And I can choose to make a difference
[Pre-Chorus]
I will turn these knives into pens
And erase the lines in the sand
We will write our stories together
In a book that will never end
[Chorus]
Knives and pens, they're just tools
It's how you use them that counts
You can use them to create or destroy
It's all in your hands
