FINALIST - WHAT DO WE TELL THE KIDS
A haunting call for accountability and hope, asking what legacy we leave for future generations.
I wrote What Do We Tell The Kids because I couldn’t stop asking myself that very question. When I look at the world we’re leaving behind—the damage to our land, climate, and communities—I wonder what I’ll say when my own child asks why we didn’t do more. Music is how I process those big questions, and this song became a way to hold myself, and all of us, accountable.
I care deeply about this issue because I grew up surrounded by nature, wide skies, and open land. Those landscapes shaped who I am, and I feel a responsibility to protect them. This song isn’t just about grief for what’s been lost, it’s about hope—about sparking conversations and inspiring action. If it can move even one person to reflect or change course, then it’s done its job.
