You and I know I had to leave
Under harbour lights, I could not see
That you were my rock, never my stepping stone

I held my tongue, I turned on my heels
I couldn't look back
I want you to know, that you were my rock never my stepping stone

You were never a stepping stone

We both know I cannot come home
The water rose faster than I could run
Oh my load has bruised my grieving bones
Forgive my sins for I haven't found God
And I don't know when I can trust my heart
But you were my rock, never my stepping stone

You were never a stepping stone
You were never a stepping stone

She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones;
She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones;
She said I'll be your rock when the water comes
Don't waste your life on the stepping stones

You were never a stepping stone
You were never a stepping stone
