Theme
This song is McKenna's response to the youth being excluded from political discussions, and at risk of those in power but with no voice.

""The Kids Don’t Wanna Come Home" is a song I wrote about being a young person in the modern world. It's about wanting to challenge fears and be part of a movement of change, and looking for hope despite a lot of dark and horrible things happening around the world."
