Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

If you look around
The whole world is comin' together now, baby

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

Feel it in the air
The wind is taking it everywhere, yeah

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

All the colours of the world should be
Lovin' each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother
And tell him twice

Spread the word and try to teach the man
Who's hating his brother
When hate won't do, ooh
'Cause we're all the same, yes
The blood inside of me is inside of you

Now, tell me
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Yeah, yeah, oh

Every breath you take
Is someone's death in another place
(Another place, another place, another place)
Every healthy smile
Is hunger and strife to another child
(Another child, another child)

But the stars do shine
In promising salvation, is near this time
(Near this time)
Can you feel it now?
So brothers and sisters show me know how

Now, tell me
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Yeah yeah oh

Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

All the children in the world should be
Loving each other wholeheartedly
Yes, it's all right
Take my message to your brother
And tell him twice

Take the news to the marching men
Who are killing their brothers
When death won't do, ooh
Yes, we're all the same
Yes, the blood inside of me is inside of you

Now, tell me




Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

This was 1980! What other artist was making songs and yet not less a video show casing White people, Black people, Indian people, Native American people, Asian people and Latin people coming together as one People!! I don’t know any other artist that did it before him! I love you Michael Jackson! You were ahead of your time and a true Super Star that blessed this planet!!

As a kid in the 70's, I can remember lots of imagery that showed people of all races coming together. There was a Coke commercial. There was some cartoon, might have been a cartoon commercial, that showed the earth and showed children of all races encircling the earth and holding hands. I also had a doll set that consisted of about 20 different dolls, each from a different country, where each one was dressed in their native dress. These things had a huge impact on making me understand from an early age that all people were one human race...and the this Jacksons video just reinforced all that.

As I look at this now, as an adult at age 56, what I see is imagery and symbolism that ties in with other celestial beings who are currently sending us positive vibes / energy to help us get through all the (seemingly) bad stuff we are now experiencing as a planet.
