Growin' up you don't see the writing on the wall   Passin' by, movin' straight ahead you'd knew it all   But one day sometime when 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 ways you're a lot like me   You're just a prisoner, and you're tryin to break free   I can see the new horizon underneath the blazing sky   I'll be where the eagles flyin higher and higher   Gonna be a man in motion, all i need's a pair of wheels   Take me where my future's lyin, St. Elmo's fire.   Burnin up, dont know just how far that I can 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.   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   Feels like you're back again and hope riding high   Gonna be your man in motion, all i need's 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, I can feel it burnin in me.
