Lyrics:
First, when there’s nothingBut a slow glowing dreamThat your fear seems to hideDeep inside your mindAll alone, I have criedSilent tears full of prideIn a world made of steelMade of stoneWell, I hear the musicClose my eyes, feel the rhythmWrap around, take a hold of my heartWhat a feelingBeing’s believin’I can have it all, now I’m dancing for my lifeTake your passionAnd make it happenPictures come aliveYou can dance right through your lifeNow I hear the musicClose my eyes, I am rhythmIn a flash, it takes hold of my heartWhat a feelingBeing’s believin’I can have it all, now I’m dancing for my lifeTake your passionAnd make it happenPictures come aliveYou can dance right through your lifeWhat a feelingWhat a feeling (I am music now)Being’s believin’ (I am rhythm now)Pictures come aliveYou can dance right through your lifeWhat 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)I can have it all (being’s believin’)Being’s believin’ (take your passion)Make it happen(What a feeling)What a feeling
