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 responisble 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 load, As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policemen 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.

Your word is my lamp for my feet, a light for my path. Psalm 119:105
