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. What a feeling. Bein's believin'. I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life. Take your passion And make it happen. Pictures come alive, you can dance right through your life. Now I hear the music, Close my eyes, I am rhythm. In a flash it takes hold Of my heart. What a feeling. Bein's believin'. I can have it all, now I'm dancing for my life. Take your passion And make it happen. Pictures come alive, 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. you 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 bein's believin'
