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'd have to say sela sela
 Talking to the people 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
 We say sela, se la
 Talking to yourself se la, se la

 You play it for the people
 Yeah, for the people
 It's time for everyone
 [bad word] together
 I know it's hard
 But this dream [bad word] to light on
 Because tonight should be
 One big celebration
 I'm talking to you now
 Only we can make things right

 We say se la, se la, se la, se la baby
 Talk about, sing about, talk about se la
 Talk about se la
 Oh the children
 Tell me about the children
 We've got to help them now to survive
 Well, one world
 One heart is our salvation
 Let us keep the dream alive

 We say se la, se la, se la
 I know se la, I know se la, se la, se la ..
