Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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 a man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire

Ooh

[Verse 3]

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 see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be a man in motion, all I need's this 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' in me

[Bridge]

Just once in his life, a man has his time

And my time is now, I'm coming alive

[Chorus]

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 a man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire

[Chorus]

I can see a new horizon underneath the blazin' sky

I'll be where the eagle's flying higher and higher

Gonna be a man in motion, all I need's this pair of wheels

Take me where my future's lyin', St. Elmo's fire

[Outro]

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'

Oh, burnin' inside of me
