Lyrics below:


Walking all alone
Where my bedroom used to be
No blanket left to catch my tears
All belongings washed away
How'd this happen in one day?
I've lost everything that I hold dear

But despite my heavy heart,
I refuse to fall apart

Family gathered here
to laugh and love
This will always be my home
Pictures from the past
Flowing out of me
in the stream of tears I cry
Each memory lives as a steppingstone

Wading through a mess,
I find my first guitar
All the strings are gone, but one
There's a broken picture frame
An old textbook with my name,
My favorite toy when I was young

But what I miss the most,
is someone to hold me close

Family gathered here
to laugh and love
This will always be my home
Pictures from the past
Flowing out of me
in the stream of tears I cry
Each memory lives as a steppingstone

Tears will dry
Hope is my guide
As I'm making a new start,
I won't forget what's in my heart

Family gathered here
to laugh and love
This will always be my home
Pictures from the past
Flowing out of me
in the stream of tears I cry
Each memory lives as a steppingstone

Even though I am alone,
and the future is unknown,
Each memory is a steppingstone
