Death of an Innocent

****************************
I went to a party, mom,
I remember what you said.
You told me not to drink, mom,
so I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, 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 site.
As I got into my car, mom,
I knew I would get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me, mom,
so responsible and sweet.
I stared to drive away, mom,
but I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn’t see me, mom,
and hit me like a load.
As I lay here on the payment, 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, mom,
and pains just like a knife.
The guy that hit me is walking, mom,
I don’t think it 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 haven, 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 short, mom,
I’m becoming very scared.
Please don’t cry for me, mom.
When I need 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?
