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 of only you can do what must be done.
|
You know, in some ways you're a lot like me.
|
You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin' to break free.
|
|
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing 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 the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
|
|
Burning up; don't know just how far that I can go.
|
Soon be home; only just a few miles down the road.
|
And 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 blazing 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 the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
|
|
I can climb the highest mountain, cross the widest sea.
|
I can feel St. Elmo's fire burning in me, burning in me.
|
Just once in his life a man has his time.
|
And my time is now; I'm comin' alive.
|
|
I can see a new horizon underneath the blazing 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 the future's lying: St. Elmo's fire.
|
|
I can hear the music playin'; I can see the banners fly.
|
Feel like a vet again. I hope I ain't high!
|
Gonna be your man in motion; all I need is a pair of wheels.
