St Elmo's Fire Lyrics - 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 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 flying 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 

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 

[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, I'm coming 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... (to fade)
