So you climbed 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 bad
I know it's hard to see it now
But you'll make it there

It's just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's slipping you higher
You open up the door
When the window's closed
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take is making your heart break
Every dash of hope that you've ever known
It's just a stepping stone

Life threw you a thousand curve balls
You hit a stone wall and you've given up
But keep thinking you're a has-been
Every passed will 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

It's just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's lifting you higher
You open up the door
When the window's closed
It's making things brighter It's makin' things can be brighter
Every fall you take is making your heart break
every dash of hope that you've ever known
It's just a stepping stone
it's just a stepping stone

It breaks you down
Then builds you up right
This winding road
Is goinna straighten up fine
Just keep on drivin'

It's just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road

You open up the door
When the window's closed
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take is making your heart break
every dash of hope that you've ever known

It's just a stepping stone

It's just a stepping stone
Like a brick in the road
It's lifting you higher
You open up the door
When the window's closed
It's making things brighter
Every fall you take is making your heart break
every dash of hope that you've ever known

It's just a stepping stone
it's just a stepping stone
it's just a stepping stone

Just a stepping stone
