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... (to fade)

    General Comment:This is amazing song..it's evergreen..and emotional.
    It's about believing in yourself and making your dreams come true: "Take your passion, and make it happen".
    The song is played in the beginning and at the end of the movie "Flashdance". I like it there! It's all about American dream...

    General Comment:This song rocks. I like the line that says "take your passion, and make it happen." I think it's just about doing what you love and kicking ass doing it. It reminds me of how I feel about art and music.
