The idea for this song came from the title of a recent Fort Worth Weekly article. I remember being 10 years old myself when the tornado hit, and of course it seemed larger than life. It was not just some cloud; it WAS Destruction, Death, & Chaos. I wrote this song to say "I'm over some of my tornadoes. How about you?"

Ten Years

Ten Years
After the Twister,
I am almost put back together.

Fort Worth is put back together.
Ten Years
After the Twister,
I am putting myself back together.
