Story behind the song
A young boy comes to terms with the sudden loss of his teacher.
Lyrics
Unfinished Business © Lisa Gundling & Vic Arnold 2014 He’d promised to finish those flowers and trees in a painting his teacher assigned him to do She said "It’s coming on well and I really am pleased and you will feel proud once our work is through". He was seven years old, it was so hard to grasp why she went up to heaven early next morning His parents explained how life doesn't last and takes us sometimes without any warning CH But… Unfinished business weighed on his mind Much like the life that she’d left behind The beauty they’d created stopped in its prime Unfinished business stood frozen in time September brought with it a new art teacher but he couldn't get over old promises made He drew angels and birds but never could reach her though something inside him would not let it fade BR Two years went by, he found the painting in a drawer and knew he was ready to complete his chore So he took a thin brush and carefully painted neatly between the flowers and trees “Memorial of Mrs. Bull” it stated finally finished, finally free CH And… Unfinished business weighed on his mind Much like the life that she’d left behind The beauty they’d created stopped in its prime Unfinished business stood frozen in time CH ‘‘Cause Unfinished business weighed on his mind Much like the life that she’d left behind The beauty they’d created stopped in its prime Unfinished business was finished with time
