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 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
