First, when there's nothing but a slow glowing dream That your fear seems to hide deep inside your mind All alone I have cried silent tears full of pride In a world made of steel, made of stone
Well I hear the music, close my eyes, feel the rhythm Wrap around, take a hold of my heart
[Chorus:] What a feeling, bein's believin' I can't have it all, now I'm dancin' for my life Take your passion, and make it happen Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life
[Solo]
Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm In a flash it takes hold of my heart
[chorus (with ... "now I'm dancing through my life")]
What a feeling
What a feeling (I am music now), bein's believin' (I am rhythm now) Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life What a feeling (I can really have it all) What a feeling (Pictures come alive when I call) I can have it all (I can really have it all) Have it all (Pictures come alive when I call) (call, call, call, call, what a feeling) I can have it all (Bein's believin') bein's believin' (Take your passion, make it happen) make it happen (What a feeling) what a feeling...
