Welcome to Gaia! ::

Death of the 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 & 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, mom, 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, 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 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 where 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?
