Daily Prompt: I Got Skills
If you could choose to be a master (or mistress) of any skill in the world, which skill would you pick?
I´d like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love, grow apple trees
And honey bees and snow white turtle doves.
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.
I’d like to hold it in my arms and keep it company.
It’s the real thing what the world wants today.
That’s the way it will stay with the real thing.
It’s the real thing, won’t you hear what I say?
What the world needs today is the real thing.
I’d like to see the world for once
All standing hand in hand — standing hand in hand.
And hear that echo through the hills
For peace through all the land – it´s the real thing.
I’d like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony – perfect harmony.
I saw on the peace that echo goes on and never goes away.
It’s the real thing what the world wants today.
That’s the way it will stay with the real thing.
It’s the real thing, won’t you hear what I say?
What the world needs today is the real thing.
It’s the real thing what the world wants today
That’s the way it will stay with the real thing…

Also loved that song. Usually commercials pinch the original lyrics from some popular song. This must be a first where it’s the other way around.

I love the original version too, but the sound quality wasn’t as good. So you get “the real thing” instead.

Love this song, the real thing (not the Coke commercial). Old songs are way better than what’s out there now. I
