St Elmo`s Fire (Man in Motion)
John Parr
(D. Foster/J. Parr)
-#1 song for two weeks in 1985
-From the film `St Elmo`s Fire` starring Demi Moore,
Emilio Estevez, Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy
Growin` up
You don`t see the writin` 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
CHORUS:
I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin` sky
I`ll be where the eagle`s
Flyin` 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
Oooh...
Burnin` 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
(CHORUS)
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 comin` 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 my future`s lyin`
St. Elmo`s Fire
(CHORUS)
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`
Oooh, burnin` inside of me
