Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

What a feeling
(Pictures come alive when I call)
I can have it all

Make it happen

First when there's nothing
At first, when there seems to be nothing
But a slow glowing dream
But only a distant dream that is gradually getting brighter
That your fear seems to hide
That your fear tries to keep hidden
Deep inside your mind
Deep inside the depths of your mind
All alone I have cried
I have cried alone
Silent tears full of pride
Tears shed in silence, yet full of a sense of self-worth
In a world made of steel
In this world that seems harsh and unfeeling
Made of stone
A world that seems impenetrable and unyielding
