UNSHINY

It was a beautiful day
so shiny and new
Everything was there
for me and you

A child was born
with a
message of love
but we chose to ignore
all the signs before
Chorus
No one can explain
to the child they raised
all mistakes they made
Left it all ... Left it all unshiny

Who's gonna tell her why
we can't sleep at night
Who's gonna tell her a politicians lie

Will she ever know
why we were to slow
will you tell her, all the reasons why
Left it all unshiny, left it all unshiny
Left it all unshiny, left it all unshiny

Bombs going off
all over this land
Guns and knives are in the playground
children no longer safe to play unseen.

see the teenage boy
with the fear he hides
an apprenticeship trying to build his life
will he ever, get the chances we did
Chorus
No one can explain
to the child they raised
all mistakes they made, Left it all,

Left it all unshiny, Left it all unshiny
Left it all unshiny, Left it all unshiny
