John Parr - St Elmo's Fire lyrics

rate me

Growin' up, you don't see the writing on the wall<br />

Passin' by, movin' straight ahead, you knew it all<br />

But maybe sometime if you feel the pain<br />

You'll find you're all alone, everything has changed<br />

Play the game, you know you can't quit until it's won<br />

Soldier on, only you can do what must be done<br />

You know in some way you're a lot like me<br />

You're just a prisoner and you're tryin' to break free<br />

Chorus:<br />

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky<br />

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher<br />

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels<br />

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire<br />

Burning up, don't know just how far that I can go (just how far I go)<br />

Soon be home, only just a few miles down the road<br />

I can make it, I know I can<br />

You broke the boy in me, but you won't break the man<br />

(chorus)<br />

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea<br />

I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me, burnin' in me<br />

Just once in his life a man has his time, and my time is now, I'm coming alive<br />

I can hear the music playin', I can see the banners fly<br />

Feel like you're back again, and hope ridin' high<br />

Gonna be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels<br />

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's Fire<br />

(chorus)<br />

I can climb the highest mountain, cross the wildest sea<br />

I can feel St. Elmo's Fire burnin' in me<br />

Burnin', burnin' in me, I can feel it burnin'<br />

Oooh, burnin' inside of me... (to fade)
