Richie, Lionel - Sela 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'd have to say sela sela
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, sela
Talking to yourself sela, sela
You play it for the people
It's time for everyone
To come together
I know it's hard
But this dream must come to light on
Because tonight should be
One big celebration
I'm talking to you now
Only we can make things right
We say sela, sela, sela, sela baby
Talk about, sing about, talk about sela
Talk about sela
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 sela, sela, sela
I know sela, I know sela, sela, sela ...

Wow! learned so Much about Lionel Richie just reading You tube comments seeing songs Like this that I havent heard before. His voice fits so easily into this Reggae type of Genre
Another Classic! 2019 anyone?
I still love this song, thank you sir
Who is listening to this great track ,,,2020??
Love this always
Ay! I love this song. Se la!
I loved (and still love) that intro.
What does "se la" mean?
@Illustra Vitae In this case, that site says what it means in the Contemporary usage section.
Selah is used in Iyaric Rastafarian vocabulary. It can be heard at the end of spoken-word segments of some reggae songs. Its usage here, again, is to accentuate the magnitude and importance of what has been said, *and often is a sort of substitute for Amen.*
That totally makes sense, since this is a gospel style song.
@- BuehmannAmen to that :-) ♥
@Illustra Vitae Selah
That makes me wonder why he titled it Se La, instead of Selah?
Ask him (-; @- Buehmann
@Illustra Vitae Copyright issues or something, maybe?
SELA, STERK Zijn.....................

Amen! Sehlah.
I really like this song
this song brings me back memories when I was 10 .my aunt rehearsals for a performance in a dancing .project.
Sela! Oorspronkelijk is dit woord ontleed aan de Hebreeuwse aanduiding een krachtige echo uit de diepte.
'Krachtige echo uit de diepte' dat klinkt mooi!
Se La!!!!!!! Ik VOEL geen weerstand voor GOD, die mij alleen genade heeft gegeven. NL

Yeah Baby! Wonderful melody and POWERFUL MESSAGE. I love stuff like this. What a groove! Monster keys solo as well. For some reason, the LIVE never re captured this magic. I guess simple IS better ;~)
