Song Lyrics - Flashdance ...What A Feeling

First when there's nothing
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
Made of stone

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 (you can really have it al)
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)
What a feeling!!!!
