such a small town
has built such broad shoulders
and such strong arms

from holding each other up

such a small town
has endured such heartbreak
and such loss

because of things we can't control

such a small town
has cried too many tears
and lived their biggest fears

because life is unfair

such a small town
has learned such ways,
the value of their days

and that makes life a little sweeter

but such a small town
could never forget
those we miss

because our hearts
are not so small
