John Parr - St. Elmo's Fire lyrics

Growing up
You don't see the writing on the wall
Passing by
Moving 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 blazing 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 lying
St. Elmo's Fire

Oooh...

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 blazing 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 lying
St. Elmo's Fire

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burning in me
Burning 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 playing
I can see the banners fly
Feel like you're back again
And hope riding high
Gonna be your man in motion
All I need is a pair of wheels
Take me where my future's lying
St. Elmo's Fire

I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazing 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 lying
St. Elmo's Fire

I can climb the highest mountain
Cross the wildest sea
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burning in me

Burning
Burning in me
I can feel it burning
Oooh, burning inside of me
