Many particles of this song to enjoy... I really love, "bein's believing."

it underscores a dirty secret in life, that whatever you want to be all you have to do is believe it...

I say all you have to do but that's the hard part. Irene Cara acknowledges "a world made of steel/Made of stone" and that makes internal belief so difficult. You have to work to break this world down to see it's all about what you believe. And if you believe it, you be it.

@sentimentalFool11 Though sometimes dogged belief just isn't enough against the bold faced truth of reality

@sentimentalFool11 I agree with that, that is the line that stuck out most for me as well.
