Se La

Lionel Richie

(Words by Lionel Richie)

(Music by Lionel Richie and Greg Phillinganes)



You know sometimes I sit and wonder

Just how this world would be

If we had all the people laughing

And everybody living in harmony



Chorus:

We have to say se la, se la

Talking to the people

Se la, se la

It's time you tought about it

Se la, se la (hey, hey)

Se la, se la



There would be no more living in desperation

And no more hatred and deceit

Tell me can you imagine

All the children playing

And everyone dancing in the street



Chorus:

We se la, se la, se la

Do it, say it

Se la, se la

Talking to everybody (yeah)

Se la, se la

You play for the people (man)

Play for the people

(Ad lib)



It's time you know for everyone to come together

I know it's hard but this dream must come to light

Because life should be one big celebration

I'm talkin' to you now

Only we can make things right



Chorus:

We se la, se la, se la

Counting on everybody (yeah)

Se la, se la

I know you thought about it

Se la, se la

Se la, se la

We wanna say

Se la, se la (ooh, ooh, ooh)

Se la, se la

Do it on the good foot

Se la, se la

Se la, se la

Talk about it, sing about it

Talk about it, sing about it

Talk about it, sing about it

Se la, se la



(Huh) All the children

Tell me about the children

We've got to help them now to survive

One world, one heart, is our salvation

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Let us keep the dream alive



Se se la, se la, se la

Se la, se la, se la

Se la, se la

Well... I know, I know

Se la (say it), se la (say it)

(Say it), (say it)

Se la, se la

Everybody come together



Chorus:

Se la (say it), se la (say it)

Don't hold back no longer

Se la, se la

Can't you see it, just believe it

Se la (say it), se la, ooh, ooh, ooh

Talking to you now

Se la, se la

Se la, se la

Se la, se la

Se la (save the children) se la

Se la, se la... fade...
