ST. ELMO'S FIRE (MAN IN MOTION)
Music by David Foster
Words 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 of only you can do what must be done.
You know, in some ways you're a lot like me.
You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin' to break free.

Chorus:

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 the future's lying; St. Elmo's fire.

Burning up; don't know just how far that I can go.
Soon be home; only just a few miles down the road.
And I can make it; I know I can.
You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man.

(To Chorus:)

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea 
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me

Bridge:

Just once in his life a man has his time.
And my time is now, I'm coming alive.

I can hear the music playing; 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 my future's lyin; St. Elmo's Fire.

(To Chorus:)

I can climb the highest mountain; cross the wildest sea.
I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me.

Burning, burning in me, I can feel it burning.
Oooh, burning inside of me...  (to fade)
