Lyrics Stepping Stones - Dougie MacLean

Stepping Stones

And so much time has gone
Since we worked out in these open fields
With the hopes of generations pulled around us
And a strength revealed
And so much has been done
Since we ran around the Snaigow wood
And never knowing where our gentle lights might lead us
Or if indeed they could
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
Their true and rural hearts were strong
And with an honest smile that burns from somewhere distant
They helped us all along
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
And in these silent hours
When reflection lays our journey down
And we think on all departed conversations
It’s such an earthly sound
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
