"Life Forces" is a song by The Power Station, released on the album Living In Fear by Chrysalis-Capitol-Guardian Records on 30 September 1996.
About the song[]
The song was written in the pre-recording stage of Living In Fear, with the same lineup as for their previous album in 1985 (Robert Palmer, Andy Taylor, John Taylor and Tony Thompson). However, John Taylor was going through a divorce at the time, as well as entering drug rehab, and pulled out before the song was recorded. Instead Bernard Edwards, the producer, played bass guitar and took over as the group's official fourth member.
"Life Forces" is a slow-tempo pop song, featuring a steady beat and showcases Robert Palmer's vocals ranges.

Lyrics[]
You build a dream in the clouds floating over you The wind just blows it away So many sins from the past catching up with you You can't avoid judgement day Anima/Animus/Pneuma/Prana/Atman/Jivatman/Jiva Life forces act on you, life forces your hand So many omens that tell of your future You don't know what they convey Life forces you to choose, life forces at play Life forces - nature's tools, life forces you to obey You think you'll feel love by trying to find it But love comes looking for you That power which erring men call only chance You feel it working on you - talkin' 'bout Anima/Animus/Pneuma/Prana/Atman/Jivatman/Jiva Life forces rule the world, life forces at work Life forces you instinctively, life forces you on Life forces act on you, life forces your hand Life forces you to go on, life forces command Just when you think you've a grip on your future Destiny changes your plans - talkin' 'bout Life forces act on you, life forces your hand Life forces you to choose, life forces command Life forces - nature's tools, life forces you to obey Life forces rule the world, life forces your hand
