Lyrics
I woke up to a world gone white Frost on the rail and ice on the stairs But someone came before the light Someone swept it, someone cared I never saw their face Just footprints in the snow Thank you, stranger, for the steps Thank you, stranger, for the way You made it easy, made it safe For somebody on a cold grey day Thank you, stranger, for the steps A shovel leaning on the wall A little salt along the track I walked right through it, I walked tall And a little warmth came back I never saw their face Just footprints in the snow Thank you, stranger, for the steps Thank you, stranger, for the way You made it easy, made it safe For somebody on a cold grey day Thank you, stranger, for the steps Pass it on, pass it on Do a small thing in the dark Somebody out there will be walking by And you will never know it, you will never know it Thank you, stranger, for the steps Thank you, stranger, for the way You made it easy, made it safe For somebody on a cold grey day Thank you, stranger, for the steps Thank you, stranger Thank you, stranger
