One Step Ahead Lyrics - Soul Reggae & More - Beres Hammond

One step ahead and you're up 

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 up 

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 up 

(tell it tell it to the world now) One step behind and you're down 

You've got to be where that spotlight, 

You've gotta be, I said you've gotta be where it's shining (interlude) 

One day you won't hear a sound 

once there was never that spotlight shining 

WOh ohoh Lord You know in these times 

when the world is full of nothing but wars and lies 

and crimes and and hatred 

and modernization becomes the mother of civilization Nations turning against nations 

We need to stop, look around 

because 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 are up 

And if we are one step behind we know we're down 

So you see we've got to be rocking, rocking, rocking 

One step ahead and you're up One step behind and you're down 

You've got to be where that spotlight (music fades)
