I’m looking for:
please look about me, thank you
Time of reflection
Death of a 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?
