Intro

    

Verse 1

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  

Pre-Chorus

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

Pre-Chorus

Now I hear the music, close my eyes, I am rhythm
In a flash it takes 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

Pictures come alive, now I'm dancing through my life

Outro

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
(fade out)
