Stepping Stones

	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
