Lyrics
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
We have to say
Se la, se la
Talking to the people
Se la, se la
It's time you thought about it
Se la, se la (hey, hey)
Se la, se la (yeah)
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
We se la
Se la, se la
Do it, say it
Se la, se la
Talking to everybody, yeah
Se la, se la
You know what it's all about
Se la, se la
You play for the people
Play for the people (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Oh, oh, oh
Play for me
Play for me (ooh, ooh, ooh)
You told me, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's time you know
For everyone to come together
I know it's hard
But this dream must come to light
Oh, because life should be
One big celebration
I'm talkin' to you now
Only we can make things right
We se la
Se la, se la
Do it on the good foot
Se la, se la
Regrets, regrets, regrets
Se la, se la
Talk about it, sing about it (se la)
Talk about it, sing about it (se la)
Talk about it, sing about it (se la)
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
We se la
Se la, se la (se la, se la, se la)
Se la, se la (well)
I know, se I know
Se la, se la (say it, say it)
Se la, se la
Everybody, come together
Se la, se la
Don't hold back, no longer
Se la, se la
Can't you see it, just believe it
Se la, se la (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Talking to you now
Se la, se la
Talking to you now
Se la, se la
Se la, se la
Save the children
Se la, se la
Save the children
Ooh, ooh, ooh, se la, se la
