One Town, One Heart

Disaster struck on May 22nd 2011



And came with a terrible cost



A tornado touched down and in its wake



Many a home and a life were lost







The people of Joplin have come together



With a spirit unbroken and strong



To rebuild their town and also their lives



As side by side they all work along







Now people are smiling once more



As their lives are beginning anew



With hearts full of faith they are starting again



While helping each other get through







Time is what it’s going to take



With everyone doing their part



But Joplin is one small town



That has a very big heart !
