Stepping Stones Songtext

von Dougie MacLean

So much time has gone
Since we worked out in these open fields
With the hope of generations pulled around us
And a strength revealed
And so much has been done since we ran around the Snaigow wood
Never knowing where our gentle lights might lead us
Or indeed they could.

CHORUS
And we do not stand alone
I know we stand with all the others
Out in the deep unknown
I know we stand upon their stepping stones

Sure and simple souls
Guarded round us as we worldly grew
With nothing greater than what working days
Might show them they gave us all they knew
And though their dreams were small
O their true and rural hearts were strong
And with an honest smile
That burns from somewhere distant
They helped us all along
CHORUS

And in these silent hours
When reflection lays our journey down
And we think on all departed conversations
It's such an earthy sound

CHORUS
