There Is More To Moore
Although I have never experienced a tornado or lost a loved one to a storm,
I was moved by the spirit and resilience of the people of Moore Oklahoma.
In May there comes an evil wind
That's worst than flood or fire
It carries off our will to live
And crushes life's desire
This time of year, is free from fear
In most lands that I know of
But living here, the price is dear
Losing those we all love
When spring arrives, it's beautiful
The best month of the season
But, tempest grow, we all know
The sky fills fast with treason
To run and hide seems futile
When warnings come to late
Found in its path, the after math
Is something that won't wait
Why do you live here,
We are often asked
We live here, cause we love here
It's our future and our passed
We are not leaving
And we are not alone
Truly there's no other place
That we could call our home
So we morn our children
Neighbors , family, friends
Then join our hands in humble pray
And build our town again
