One Step Ahead

I catch my breath, ready for the race to come

No prizes call, contest is my opium

Since you can never be sure

When they're keeping the score

You must always be ready to run

I tense myself

Waiting for the starting gun

No time for fun

Because

I work all day and I think all night

I break my body but that's alright

'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might

To keep one step ahead of you

I think to myself living is a winning school

Winning on your feet, winning in the street

Winning as a golden rule

It seems there's always a test

And I'm doing my best

But there still seems a long way to go

I try myself

Trying everything I know

Pushing me so

So

I work all day and I think all night

I break my body but that's alright

'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might

To keep one step ahead of you

Don't wanna know why

Don't wanna know how or when or who

One step ahead

One more step ahead just to get me through

I try my best

Here comes another test

So wicked, no rest

Because

I work all day and I think all night

I break my body but that's alright

'Cos it'll take my mind and all my might

To keep one step ahead of you
