The Force

This song kicks off our hero’s journey in Chris Parr's loving and epic Star Wars parody A New Hope: The Musical. Written in the style of The Doors and similar 60’s psychedelia,
this organ heavy song drives forward the plot with Obi-Wan teaching young Luke about the mysterious energy the “Force” in song. Their relationship sparks shades of
Disney’s The Jungle Book. A feature composition for the actor playing Obi-Wan.

LUKE:
But Obi Wan I don’t even know what the Force is!

OBI WAN:
What the fuck? You don’t know what the Force is?
Ha ha ha , you’ve got a lot to learn my boy
It’s okay, sit back, and let Old Ben illuminate!

LUKE:
Yeah Yeah!

OBI WAN:
There’s a power deep inside you Luke, down deep in your soul
It encapsulates your very being, and it’s taking control,
So let go of your fear and your hate and your spite and your pain
Let the force be your guide kid, let it show you the way

And let go, you gotta follow the light
Let go, you gotta do what’s right
And let got you’ll be a Jedi knight
When you let go, you let go, and let the force be your guide

Organ Instrumental

Watch out, there’s a dark side Luke and they want you they want you real bad
They’re some mean mother fuckers, you know they went and killed your dad!

LUKE:
(DADDY!)

OBI WAN:
Yeah the Emperor, he’s a real mean dude, he’s got the Stormtroopers, Death Star, and Darth Vader too!

So let go, you gotta follow the light
Let go, you gotta do what’s right
Let go, don’t join that dark side
Let go, you let go and let the force be your guide

Organ Instrumental

Tie fighters in the sky, flying way up high
Take a look, it’s in a book, it’s Reading Rainbow!

You let go, you gotta follow the light
You let go, you gotta do what’s right
You let go, you’ll be a Jedi Knight
When you let go, you let go, you let go go go
You let go, you gotta follow the light
You let go, you gotta do what’s right
You let go, you’ll be a Jedi Knight
When you let go, you let go, let the force be your guide!
