What A Feeling
DJ Bobo;Irene Cara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What a feeling, being's believing
I can have it all now I'm dancing for my life

All alone I have cried
Silent tears full of pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone
First when there's nothing
But a slow glowing dream
That your fear seems to hide
Deep inside your mind

What a feeling (what a feeling), being's believing (being's believing)
I can have it all now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion (what a feeling) and make it happen (being's believing)
Pictures come alive you could dance right through your life

Now I know, I got the chance
To reach the top, is so intense
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Now I hear the music
Close my eyes I am rhythm
In a flash it takes hold
Of my heart

What a feeling (what a feeling), being's believing (being's believing)
I can have it all now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion (what a feeling) and make it happen (being's believing)
Pictures come alive you could dance right through your life

I feel the passion, deep inside
I got strength, I got pride
In a world made of steel
Made of stone

Dancing, till the end of this night
Like now or never, got strength and pride
When I feel the music I'm losing control
Of my mind, my body, my heart and my soul
Let's go, make this dream come true
For me and for you, we can dance right through
You can have it all, there's no price to pay
Your feelings will show you the way

What a feeling (what a feeling), being's believing (being's believing)
I can have it all now I'm dancing for my life
Take your passion (what a feeling) and make it happen (being's believing)
Pictures come alive you could dance right through your life

What a feeling (what a feeling), being's believing (being's believing)
What a feeling (what a feeling), being's believing (being's believing)
What a feeling




I can have it all now I'm dancing for my life
What a feeling

Line by Line Meaning

First when there's nothing
At the very beginning, when there's nothing at all


But a slow glowing dream
Just a faint dream that glows dimly


That your fear seems to hide
A dream that your fear wants to keep hidden


Deep inside your mind
Buried deep within your thoughts


All alone I have cried
I've shed tears by myself


Silent tears full of pride
Tears that are quiet but full of dignity


In a world made of steel
In a world that's tough and unyielding


Made of stone
In a world that's unfeeling and cold


Well, I hear the music
But then I hear the music


Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
I close my eyes and sense the beat


Wrap around
It envelops me completely


Take a hold of my heart
And takes over my heart


What a feeling
It's an amazing sensation


Bein's believin'
Believing is being


I can have it all
I can achieve anything


Now I'm dancing for my life
And now I'm dancing for my very existence


Take your passion
Pursue your passion


And make it happen
And make it come true


Pictures come alive
Your dreams become a reality


You can dance right through your life
You can gracefully glide through life's journey


What a feeling
It's a remarkable feeling


I am music now
Now I've become the music


I am rhythm now
I've become the beat now


Bein's believin'
Believing is being


I can really have it all
I truly can achieve anything


Pictures come alive when I call
My dreams come true when I bring them to life


Have it all
I can achieve everything


Call, call, call, call
Bring it all to life


Take your passion
Pursue your passion


Make it happen
Make it a reality

Bring it to life
