    The inverse of this is St Elmo’s Fire. My wife and I joked that the line was “I can be your man in motion, all I need is a pair of wheels.” thinking it was hilarious and a great replacement.

    Well, a few years ago we looked the actual lyrics up and… that’s the actual line.

    Turns out the song was written for a Canadian paralympian. “David Foster and John Parr wrote this song specifically for the movie St. Elmo’s Fire, but the song itself is about a Canadian athlete named Rick Hansen, who was paralyzed from the waist down after a car crash when he was 15.”.

    Honestly, it made the song that much better.
