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
You can dance right through your 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
(Bein's believin')
Happen
(Take your passion)

First when there's nothing
At the beginning when you have nothing
But a slow glowing dream
Only a faint dream exists
That your fear seems to hide
That is hidden by fear
Deep inside your mind
Inside your thoughts
All alone I have cried
I have cried alone
Silent tears full of pride
Proud tears that are quiet
In a world made of steel
In a world that's hard and unfeeling
Made of stone
That's cold and unfeeling
Well, I hear the music
Now I hear the music
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
I close my eyes and feel the beat
Wrap around
It envelops me
Take a hold of my heart
Grabs hold of my emotions
What a feeling
It's an incredible sensation
Bein's believin'
Believing is doing
I can have it all
I can achieve anything
Now I'm dancing for my life
Now I'm dancing with everything I have
Take your passion
Use your fervor
And make it happen
To bring your dreams to fruition
Pictures come alive
Your imagination comes to life
You can dance right through your life
You can live your life through dance
In a flash
Very suddenly
It takes hold of my heart
My heart is captured by it
What a feeling
It's an incredible sensation
I am music now
I am now the embodiment of music
I am rhythm now
I am now the embodiment of rhythm
Pictures come alive when I call
My dreams become real when I ask for them
I can really have it all
I can truly achieve anything
Call, call, call, call
Ask, ask, ask, ask
Happen
To come to fruition, to happen
