Steps Grew Heavy

Steps grew heavy, yet you carried on,

Every rise felt endless, yet you stayed strong.

Eyes were watching as you climbed so slow,

But your will kept moving, refusing to let go.

Distance tried to scatter what was real,

Choices weighed like iron, hard to heal.

Still I feel the bond that never broke,

A vow unspoken in the words we spoke.

At the threshold where our stories meet,

Love kept walking on steady feet.

Years apart, yet the bond remains,

Written in courage, carried in veins.

At the threshold, where the journey sings,

Unstoppable soul, rising on wings.

Time kept pulling, rivers ran apart,

But the bond stayed written in the heart.

Every step became a song of grace,

Strength was shining in its rightful place.

Strings will rise, the drums will call,

We stood taller than the weight of it all.

Even distance couldn't steal the truth,

Love endured, eternal proof.

At the threshold where our stories meet,

Love kept walking on steady feet.

Years apart, yet the bond remains,

Written in courage, carried in veins.

At the threshold, where the journey sings,

Unstoppable soul, rising on wings.

So I'll keep the vow where the paths still cross,

In the quiet strength that outlasts loss.

At the threshold, I'll remember

Verse 3

Dust on the dashboard, miles of open road

Every crack in the windshield tells a story that we know

Small town mornings, porches wrapped in vine

I can still taste the summer in the back of my mind

Chorus

At the threshold where our stories meet

Love kept walking on steady feet

Years apart, yet the bond remains

Written in courage, carried in veins

At the threshold, where the journey sings

Unstoppable soul, rising on wings

Verse 4

The radio's humming something soft and slow

Every chord pulls me back to places that we used to go

Fields of golden light, a river running through

I'd walk a thousand gravel roads just to get back to you

Bridge

And I know that seasons turn and time will fade

But the root of what we planted still remains

Like a prayer in the pines, like a flame in the rain

It don't matter where I go, you're part of my name

Outro

So I'll carry you with me down every winding lane

Through the whispers of the canyon and the tears of the rain

When the highway fades to silence and the stars take the wheel

I'll still be standing at the threshold, knowing what is real

(Fade out like distant highway wind)
