St. Elmo's Fire [man In Motion] lyrics

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 tryin' to break free

I can see the new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire

Burning 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 flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where my future's 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, and I'm coming alive

I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly

Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where the future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels

Take me where the future's 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', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'

Ooh, burnin' inside of me
