St. Elmo’s Fire (Man In Motion) Lyrics By John Parr

    growin’ up
    you don’t see the writing on the wall
    passin’ by
    movin’ straight ahead you knew it all
    but maybe sometime if you feel the pain
    you’ll find you’re all alone everything has changed
    play the game
    you know you can’t quit until it’s won
    soldier on
    only you can do what must be done
    you know in some way you’re a lot like me
    you’re just a prisoner
    and you’re trying to break free

    i can see a new horizon
    underneath the blazin’ sky
    i’ll be where the eagle’s flyin’ higher and higher
    gonna be a man in motion
    all i need is a pair of wheels
    take me where my futures lyin’ st elmo’s fire

    burnin’ up
    don’t know just how far that i can go
    just how far i go
    soon be home
    only just a few miles down the road
    i can make it i know i can
    you broke the boy in me
    but you won’t break the man

    i can see a new horizon
    underneath the blazin’ sky
    i’ll be where the eagle’s flyin’ higher and higher
    gonna be a man in motion
    all i need is a pair of wheels
    take me where my futures lyin’ st elmo’s fire

    i can climb the highest mountain
    cross the wildest sea
    i can feel st elmo’s fire burnin’ in me
    burnin’ in me

    just once in his life a man has his time
    and my time is now i’m coming alive

    i can hear the music playin’
    i can see the banners fly
    feel like a man again i’ll hold my head high
    gonna be a man in motion
    all i need is a pair of wheels
    take me where my future’s lyin’ st elmo’s fire

    i can see a new horizon
    underneath the blazin’ sky
    i’ll be where the eagle’s flyin’ higher and higher
    gonna be a man in motion
    all i need is a pair of wheels
    take me where my futures lyin’ st elmo’s fire

    i can climb the highest mountain
    cross the wildest sea
    i can feel st elmo’s fire burnin’ in me
    burnin’ in me
    burnin’
    burnin’ in me
    i can feel it burnin’
    ooh burnin’ inside of me
