Saywhat's Cozy Cubbie Hole
Hmmmm ... something to think about. 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, the way you said I would.
I know I did the right thing, mom, I know your 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 I pulled 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 I'm the one who'll 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 want 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.
Be Positive!
Don't Drink and Drive! I'm feeling sharp pains now. Pain 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 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 goodbye.
I didn't drink and drive, mom, so why am I the one to die.
