In the Wind

I work my fingers to the bone Every day of my life To make things better than what I had For my children and my wife Then fate steps in and takes it away In the twinkling of an eye Huddled together in the bathroom floor Afraid we're going to die Pass us by oh mighty freight train This night that's filled with screams Why must you hurt so many, And haunt our future dreams? Give back what you have taken Our sense of security For life is somehow not the same Nor will it ever be The wind used to be a beautiful thing That set my soul at ease But twisted and mangled it's forever changed And brings us to our knees So many now lay silent The laughter now fades away Replaced with tears for those who died And destruction left in your way So much suffering left behind With hearts that need to mend The peace that closed our eyes to sleep Has vanished in the wind An EF2 Tornado hit my town killing 6 and injuring 38 with lives left scattered across the county. It came in the middle of the night we couldn't even see it coming. You prayers are needed for all those people suffering across America
