St. Elmo's Fire (Man in Motion) Songtext
von John Parr

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, everythin' 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 tryna break free

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

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


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

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 comin' alive

I can hear the music playin′, I can see the banners fly
Feel like a man again, I′ll hold my head 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

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

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'
Ooh, burnin′ inside of me
