"Death of an Innocent"
|
I felt really proud inside, Mom
the way you said I would.
didn't drink and drive, Mom
even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom
I know you are always right.
now the party is finally ending, Mom
as everyone is driving out of sight.
As I got in to my car, Mom
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,Mom,
so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom
but as I pulled onto the road,
the other car didn't see me, Mom
and hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom
I hear the policemen say,
the other guy is drunk, Mom
and I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom.
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom
and most of it is mine.
I hear the paramedic say, Mom
I'll die in a very short time.
I just wanted to tell you Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom
the others didn't think.
He didn't know where he was going, Mom
he was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is,Mom
he drank and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now, Mom
pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom
I don't think that is fair.
I'm lying here dying,Mom
and all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom
tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom
write " Daddy's Girl" on my grave
Someone should have told him, Mom
not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me ,Mom
Because when I needed you,
you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom
before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom
so why am I the one to die?
This is the end, Mom
I wish I could look you in the eye.
To say these final words, Mom
I love you and goodbye...
Please Don't Let This Happen To Any Child
