about

Armada is a small town in Michigan that experienced a terrible tragedy and turned the site of the incident into a place of beauty and remembrance. This folk ballad offers hope for how a community can come together for good.

lyrics

Someone stole one of us
Punched a hole in our hearts
And this small town won't be the same
This small town can't be the same

Mourning April never stops
It leaves a hole in our hearts
But we won't give in to the pain
This town won't give in to pain

Armada, look at what you've done
Lifting us up
Lifting us all up

Do it all with the heart
Plant a garden at the spot
Where an innocent was lost
Where all our innocence was lost
Keep an empty chair in sight
Dress it up in pink and white
Welcome strangers, keep your neighbors friends
Still welcome strangers, keep your neighbors friends

Let's go to the garden our rainbow memory
Lavender and zinnia, golden day lilies
Sitting in the garden, stories we could tell
Gone never forgotten, ring the lasting bell

Armada, look at what you've done
You lift us up
Armada, look at what you've done
You lift us up
