"One Step Ahead" lyrics

One step ahead and you're out
One step behind, and you're down, you're down
You've got to be where that spotlight is shining

One step ahead and you're out
One step behind, and you're down, you're down
You've got to be where that spotlight is shining, shining

One day you won't hear a sound
And there'll be no one around, around
(Once there was never that spotlight on you)
Shining, shining, shining, shining on you

One step ahead, and you're out (Tell it, tell it to the children, yeah)
One step behind, and you're down (And let them know you're down)
You've got to be where that spotlight is shining
(You've gotta be, I said you've gotta be where it's shining)

One day you won't hear a sound, there's no one around
(Once there was never that spotlight)
Shining

Woah-oh, Lord, you know in these times
When the world is full of nothing but wars and lies
And crimes and hatred
And modernization becomes the mother of civilization
Nations turning against nations
We need to stop, look around
'Cause there is a light, light enough
A light to keep nations together as one
And if we are one step ahead then we know we're out
And if we are one step behind, we know we're down
So you see we've got to be right here, right here, right here, see

One step ahead, and you're out (Tell it to the children)
One step behind, and you're down (And let them, let them know)
You've got to be where that spotlight
