Maya Feat Irene Cara Lyrics
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

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

First when there's nothing
At the beginning, when you feel like you have nothing
But a slow glowing dream
Except for a soft, flickering dream within you
That your fear seems to hide
Which your anxiety has buried deep inside
Deep inside your mind
In the hidden corners of your thoughts
All alone I have cried
By myself, I wept
Silent tears full of pride
Quiet, but filled with self-respect
In a world made of steel
In a harsh, unforgiving world
Made of stone
Without compassion or empathy
Well, I hear the music
But then I hear the rhythm
Close my eyes, feel the rhythm
I shut my eyes and let the beat consume me
Wrap around
Enveloping me
Take a hold of my heart
Grasping my heart tightly
What a feeling
This is an incredible sensation
Bein's believin'
Believing in yourself
I can have it all
I can achieve my dreams
Now I'm dancing for my life
Now I'm dancing to survive
Take your passion
Embrace your ardor
And make it happen
And make your aspirations a reality
Pictures come alive
Your mental images come to life
You can dance right through your life
You can overcome life's challenges with dance
Now I hear the music
Now I hear the rhythm again

I am the beat, I am one with it
In a flash
Suddenly
It takes hold of my heart
It grips my heart firmly

@Christ The details are sketchy. No cause of death, then it was changed to "undisclosed", no funeral, then it was private with no date provided, a memorial is "planned" but no date given almost two months after her "passing", "family" contacted her publicist but they won't specify who.

You must be one of her Superfans to believe that.
