St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) Lyrics

[00:17.16] Growin' up, you don't see the writin' on the wall
[00:25.95] Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
[00:33.59] But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
[00:38.14] You'll find you're all alone, everythin' has changed
[00:43.11] Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
[00:51.90] Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
[00:59.75] You know in some way you're a lot like me
[01:03.83] You're just a prisoner and you're tryna break free
[01:09.23] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[01:13.65] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[01:17.89] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[01:22.45] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[01:27.66]
[01:34.98] Burnin' up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
[01:43.45] Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
[01:51.65] I can make it, I know I can
[01:55.79] You broke the boy in me but you won't break the man
[02:01.20] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[02:05.35] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[02:09.94] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[02:14.22] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[02:18.54] I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
[02:22.77] I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
[02:31.90]
[02:49.16] Just once in his life a man has his time
[02:57.85] And my time is now, I'm comin' alive
[03:06.10] I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
[03:10.36] Feel like a man again, I'll hold my head high
[03:14.71] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[03:19.10] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[03:23.27] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[03:27.68] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[03:31.88] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[03:36.33] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[03:40.63] I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
[03:44.87] I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me
[03:49.66] Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
[03:59.15] Ooh, burnin' inside of me
[04:03.83]
