**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?
**
