One Step Too Far [Wrapped Refrain]

One step forward, and one step back;
Courage is the thing that you lack,
But we can toughen up your spine -
Dancing under the stars that shine.
We`ll get drunk in the streets, our words can come out slurred,
`Cuz it`s the only way we`ll take... one step forward.

One step too far, falling from grace;
The tears stream down your pretty face,
You`re not as golden as you seem,
Just another broken down dream;
And through all of the lies, you`re still my shining star;
You know I miss you, we just took... one step too far.

The Wrapped Refrain, created by Jan Turner, consists of 2 stanzas of 6 lines each;Meter: 8,8,8,8,12,12 and Rhyme Scheme: a,a,b,b,c,c.

Refrain rule: In each stanza the first 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) in the first line must be the last 4 syllables (or 4 single-syllable words) at the end of the last line. This is what wraps each stanza with a repeated refrain ...thus, the Wrapped Refrain.
