One of my all-time favorite tunes and one of the most underrated songs ever IMHO...
Reached #22 in Billboard and #16 in R&R in March, 1984 ... a much bigger hit at AOR...
I still like to give this one a couple of spikes a month... never gets old with me...

Very catchy song! I liked it.
"And you will run your time, a shooting star across the sky.
And you will surely cross the line, to pass on the flame".

Yeah, very catchy... was hoping it would go top 10, but given how many good songs were out in the '83-'84 period, #16 wasn't a bad result...
I actually managed to find the CD this is on, "Somewhere in Afrika" a very long time ago... I don't know if it's on any compliations though...

A good song, written by Canadian singer Ian Thomas, originally from his own album The Runner which came out in 1981.

Awesome song! I have this on a 45. I love their take on Springsteen's "For You."

Just listened to it two nights ago. It hit number 16 on the R&R chart. Great tune!
