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

[00:16.60] Growin' up, you don't see the writin' on the wall
[00:24.54] Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all
[00:33.13] But maybe sometime if you feel the pain
[00:37.97] You'll find you're all alone, everythin' has changed
[00:42.69] Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won
[00:50.40] Soldier on, only you can do what must be done
[00:59.51] You know in some way you're a lot like me
[01:03.53] You're just a prisoner and you're tryna break free
[01:08.23] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[01:12.60] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[01:17.60] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[01:22.16] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[01:27.37]
[01:34.86] Burnin' up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)
[01:43.14] Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road
[01:51.01] I can make it, I know I can
[01:55.37] You broke the boy in me but you won't break the man
[02:00.41] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[02:05.03] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[02:09.15] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[02:13.45] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[02:18.81] I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
[02:22.35] I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me
[02:31.49]
[02:49.59] Just once in his life a man has his time
[02:58.04] And my time is now, I'm comin' alive
[03:05.26] I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly
[03:09.55] Feel like a man again, I'll hold my head high
[03:14.19] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[03:18.33] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[03:22.96] I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky
[03:27.07] I'll be where the eagle's flyin' higher and higher
[03:31.75] Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels
[03:36.26] Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire
[03:40.71] I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea
[03:44.07] I can feel St. Elmo's fire burnin' in me
[03:50.24] Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'
[03:55.51] Ooh, burnin' inside of me
[04:00.19]
