Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? There's a mood spreading round the world today Can you feel the force? It's with you in your work or at your play Can you feel the force? They're cleaning up the streets throughout the world Can you feel the force? Ghetto folk have had the final furl Can you feel the force? You can feel the pressure lifting off your head People who make war are making love instead This could be the dawning of another time Hatred is a stranger we can see the sign Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? All you people with your heads on the ground Can you feel the force? I can feel the hope spreading all around Can you feel the force? I can feel a new beginning in the air Can you feel the force? Peace and love forming everywhere Can you feel the force? You can see a change in people's attitudes Looking to the future in much brighter moods There's a message clearly written in the sky Time to change and soon we'll all be flying high Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? Whoo oo oo ooo Can you feel the force? Can you feel the force? (There are some very slight changes in the lyrics depending on whether you are listening to the original or the '86 re-mix)
