Dougie Maclean - Stepping Stones lyrics

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
