Missoula Windstorm Song (July 24, 2024)

Written by Matt Candid from Missoula, MT.

Lyrics:

Wednesday winds tore our town.

Trees overturned, power lines down.

Thousands need water, power, showers, lights.

Food turning fast, hot days, restless nights.

As we learn -

humility -

how easy we had it before the debris.

As we learn -

empathy -

hear and see others struggle, now we know no relief.

We are in it now, feel it now, know it now too.

No longer ignore cries, no longer need proof.

Being the victim a moment brings truth.

Don't deny the need now when it's you.

Missoula neighbors.

Montana friends.

Torn apart

Together we stand.

Wednesday winds tore our town.

Trees overturned, power lines down.

Thousands need water, power, showers, lights.

Food turning fast, hot days, restless nights.

As we learn -

humility -

how easy we had it before the debris.

As we learn -

empathy -

hear and see others struggle, now we know no relief.

We are in it now, feel it now, know it now too.

No longer ignore cries, no longer need proof.

Being the victim a moment brings truth.

Don't deny the need now when it's you.

Missoula neighbors.

Montana friends.

Torn apart

Together we stand.
