🎵 THE WAY BACK DOWN
by Fierce Father

[Verse 1]
We packed up that old sedan, headed for the pines
With a wheelchair and a woman who once lit up my life
She said, “Take me to the waterfall, I wanna feel it loud”
So we climbed that mountain slowly, never looking down

[Verse 2]
Each push was like a heartbeat, steady, strong, and true
The path was rough, but love like that—what else was I to do?
She smiled like she was flying, while I held her in my hands
Two wheels, one dream, and a broken man

[Chorus]
But it wasn’t the climb that made me fall to my knees
It was holding her steady when we turned to leave
With the weight of the world, I prayed we’d both stay sound
'Cause the hardest part of love is the way back down

[Verse 3]
You were just a boy back then, chasing sparks and stones
Didn't know your dad was wrestling ghosts alone
Your mom believed in magic, even when the sky was gray
And I believed in her, come whatever may

[Bridge]
We bathed you on a table, bought a swing and a dream
Worked nights and built a company called Star for what you’d be
Your mama needed new wheels, you needed open skies
So I gave you everything—no questions, no goodbyes

[Chorus]
But it wasn’t the climb that broke the man I was
It was the careful descent from a peak built on love
With shaking arms and a whisper, I swore I’d never let her down
But the hardest part of love is the way back down

[Outro]
Now I stand here at the edge with a thought I won't allow
If we go, we go together—but maybe not right now
'Cause if love’s a mountain, and life’s a battleground
Then maybe, just maybe—we climb back down
