April 8, 1998 Lyrics by Cathy Lynn Brazeel

0

Sitting at home
One dark and stormy night,
Something outside was stirring
Something wasn't right.
The sirens started to blare
Through our small town,
Then came the most
Horrible sound.
An F5 tornado
I heard the weather guy say,
I couldn't believe it
It was headed our way.
The ground started to rumble
The trailer started to shake,
I couldn't believe my eyes
This tornado wasn't fake.
Everything went black
The lights they went out,
The trailer was lifted
And I heard my mom shout.
"Please let us make it
Out of this horrible storm,"
And then suddenly it happened
Up in the air we soared.
We hit the ground hard
I just laid there in pain,
And suddenly it was over
And all there was, was rain.
I couldn't believe it was over
The storm, it was so mean,
And I closed my eyes tightly
Hoping it was only a bad dream.
When I opened my eyes again
I was lying safely in bed,
And all I had was a slight
Concussion to my head.
I looked around the room
There were family and friends,
And I started wondering to myself
Where is my mom, sister and dad.
They must have been hurt
In this terrible storm too,
They were probably in their own
Hospital room.
Then someone from the room
Finally had something to say,
I'll never forget the look
They had upon their face.
Through their tears they started to speak
As they held onto my hand,
They said in a very sad voice
Your mom, dad, and sister are dead.
I couldn't believe it
How quickly life can change,
Because in an instant
Mine was rearranged.
So cherish your parents
And your siblings too,
Because you'll never know when
Their lives will be through.
