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 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, And everyone is driving out of sight.
As I get into the 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 am 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 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 who 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 goodbye,
I didn't drink and drive, Mom, So why am I the one to die?

The RingOnce by the door he pauses to stand,
As he takes his class ring off her hand.
All those who were watching didn't dare speak
As silent tears rolled down his cheek.
All through his mind the memories ran,
Of moments they taked and walked in the sand.
But now in her eyes, so terribly cold.
Never again would he have her to hold.
They watched in silence as he bent near,
To whisper "I Love You" in her ear.
He touched her face and started to cry,
He put on his ring and wanted to die.
Just as the windstarted to blow,
They lowered her casket into the snow.
This is what happens to many alive,
When friends let friends drink and drive.
