Song | Stepping Stones |
Artist | Dougie MacLean |
Album | With Strings |
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 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 O their true and rural hearts were strong | |
And with an honest smile that burns from somewhere distant | |
They helped us all along | |
And in these silent hours when reflection lays our journey down | |
And we think on all departed conversations | |
It’s such an earthy sound | |
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 |
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 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 O their true and rural hearts were strong | |
And with an honest smile that burns from somewhere distant | |
They helped us all along | |
And in these silent hours when reflection lays our journey down | |
And we think on all departed conversations | |
It' s such an earthy sound | |
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 |
