Flashdance - What A Feeling Lyrics
Irene Cara
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 Qour 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. I can really have it all.
What a feeling. I can really have it all. . . .
