DEATH OF AN INNOCENT
I went to a party, Mom, I remembered
what you said.
You told me not to drink,
Mom, so I drank soda instead
I really felt proud inside,
Mom, the way you said I would.
I 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 into my
car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you
raised me, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away,
Mom, but as I pulled out into 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 policeman say,
the other guy is
drunk, Mom, and now 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 medic say,
Mom, I'll die in a 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 was probably at the
same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
and I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp
pains now. Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking,
Mom, and I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying 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, put "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.
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,
so why am I the one to die?
