I wrote this a couple of years ago in response to a spate of shootings of young people at the time. Sadly, but not I fear unsurprisingly, this theme of shooting & killing of innocents stays with us.
Love each other, music has no colour.

Another Headline

Cast another shadow
From a different type of son
Time for praying’s over now
There’s nowhere left to run
Look deep inside yourself
See what you find
If you don’t find a heart that’s beating
There’s nothing left inside

Don’t go shooting the messenger
Don’t go playing the fool
Don’t bury your head in the sand
This is happening right in front of you
Look deep inside your heart
See what you find
If you can’t hear the children crying
You’ve got nothing left inside

There goes the innocence
Here come the lies
There goes a heart that’s beating
There goes a life
Here come the headlines
Another day another son
Here comes the hail and the thunder
Here comes the gun

This won’t be the last time
You see blood on the street
Every day there’s a next time
Another memory to delete
Look deep inside yourself
See what you find
If you don’t have a soul that’s grieving
There’s no hope left inside

There goes the innocence
Here come the lies
There goes a heart that’s beating
There goes a life
Here come the headlines
Another day another son
Here comes the hail and the thunder
Here comes the gun

Hi @Welsh Steve!  Firstly, I think you should put the link in the body of your post so it can easily be clicked on., Get more listens that way 

I really liked this, there's a lot going on, maybe too much in a few places but it's strong enough to cope with it for me. 

I really liked the Chorus especially having been set up by the pre chorus that's not in the lyrics, really powerful, as are the lyrics generally.

Great stuff!
