Music Video
The 9-minute accompanying video, entitled "The Triumph", was noted for its special effects created by Robert Abel and Associates, responsible for the film Tron.[citation needed] In 2001, it was voted one of the 100 best videos of all time, in a poll to mark the 20th anniversary of MTV. The title was also used for a 2009 greatest hits compilation. The video was featured on the bonus disc of the box set, Michael Jackson's Vision. Billboard said it was "a cinematic masterpiece with strikingly advanced visual effects for its time." Rolling Stone placed it at number 12 on their list of the best Michael Jackson videos

Can you feel it,can you feel it,can you feel it! If you look around The whole world's coming together now. Can you feel it,can you feel it,can you feel it! Feel it in the air The wind is taking it everywhere. Can you feel it,can you feel it, can you feel it! All the colors of the world should be Lovin' each other wholeheartedly. Yes it's alright,take my message to your brother and tell him twice. Spread the word who tried to teach the man who is hatin' his brother, When hate won't do '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 see what's going down, you can feel it in your bones Every breath you take, Is someone's death in another place. Every healthy smile, Is hunger and strife to another child. But the stars do shine And promising salvation is near this time. Can you feel it now, So brothers and sisters Shall we know how. Now tell me! Can you feel it,tell me can you feel it,can you feel it! Talk now can you see what's going down open up your mind. All the children of the world should be Lovin' each other wholeheartedly Yes it's alright Take my message to your brother and tell him twice. Take the news to the marchin' men Who are killin' their brothers,when death won't do. Yes we're all the same Yes the blood inside my veins 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!
