Stepping Stone

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

I saw you climb up the ladder
You took a bad turn, and you splintered up
So you say that it's over
With no closure, and you've had enough
Every center stage, just a turning page
Fading into the back
I know it's hard to see now
But you'll make it there

Just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's lifting you higher
You open up a door when the windows close
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take, making your heart break
Every dashing hope that you'll ever know
Is just a stepping stone, yeah

Life threw a thousand curveballs
You hit a stone wall, and you're giving up
Keep thinking you're a has-been
Every past whim lost in the dust
So you toss and turn, and you let it burn
Night after night
It seems so hard to push through
Don't let it put you down

Just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's lifting you higher
You open up a door when the windows close
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take, making your heart break
Every dashing hope that you'll ever know
Is just a stepping stone
Is just a stepping stone

It breaks you down
Then builds you up right
This winding road
Is gonna straighten up fine
Just keep on driving

Just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
You open up a door when the windows close
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take, making your heart break
Every dashing hope that you'll ever know
Is just a stepping stone
Just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's lifting you higher
You open up a door when the windows close
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take, making your heart break
Every dashing hope that you'll ever know
Is just a stepping stone
Is just a stepping stone
Is just a stepping stone
Is just a stepping stone, yeah
Is just a stepping stone, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
