Tim Tebow's Fire

My last entry explained John 3:16, the verse Tim Tebow is most associated with and, in my opinion, has been miraculously highlighted to millions through this young man's play. Below is a blog entry by Dr. Denny Burke. Thought you'd enjoy it (especially if you grew up with St. Elmo!).

Tim Tebow’s Fire
By Denny Burk on January 12, 2012 in Humor, Sports



There are lots of silly things on the internet, but sometimes you come across something that registers so high on the goofy-meter that you just have to share it. I’ve got one today.
Back in the mid-80′s there was a really popular movie called “St. Elmo’s Fire,” and one of the songs from the movie soundtrack reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and received a Grammy nomination. The song was written and performed by John Parr and was titled “Man in Motion.” It’s quintessential 80′s fare, and there’s not a Gen X’er reading this that doesn’t know the song.

Well, here’s the goofy part. It turns out that John Parr is still alive and kicking and has become a fan of Tim Tebow. So he rewrote the lyrics to the song as an ode to Tim Tebow! John Parr explains,

I was inspired by Tim Tebow so I wanted to modify the lyrics…in his honor of the way that he lives his life as being a great example.


What are the new lyrics? You can listen to them yourself above, or you can read the lyrics below. But yes, he does change “St. Elmo’s Fire” to “Tim Tebow’s Fire.” He also says, “Gonna be a man in motion, all I need is my Broncos team.” Like I said, it’s high on the goofy-meter. Enjoy!

P.S. If that’s not weird enough for you, John Parr has written a whole new song in honor of Tebow. It’s called “Just a Man,” and you can listen to it here.

Tim Tebow’s Fire


Original Lyrics by John Parr

Growin’ up
Gotta keep your eye on the ball

Make it fly,

Give it everything, give your all

But maybe sometimes 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 on
Only you can do what must be done

You know I’m out there

Down on one knee
a prisoner
And I’m tryin’ to break free

CHORUS:

I can see a new horizon
Underneath the blazin’ sky
I’ll be where the eagle’s
Flyin’ higher and higher

Gonna be a man in motion

All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future’s lyin’
Tim Tebows Fire

Oooh…

Burnin’ up
Don’t know just how far that I can go
(Just how far I go)
Soon be home
Only just 4 downs to go
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
blazin on the Mile High
I’ll be where the eagle’s
Flyin’ higher and higher

Gonna be your man in motion

All I needs my Broncos team
Take me where my future’s lyin’
Tim Tebows Fire

I can climb the highest mountain
These Broncos cant be beat
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
And 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 a man in motion
These broncos can’t be beat
Take me where my future’s lyin’
Tim Tebow’s fire

(CHORUS)

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’
Oooh, burnin’ inside of me
