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're always right.
now the party is ending, Mom, as everyone drives out of sight.
As I got into the car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece,
because the way you raised me, Mom, so responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom, but as I pulled onto 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 happened to me, Mom? My life burst like a balloon.
There is blood all over me, Mom, and most of it is mine
i hear the medic say, mom, i'll die in a short time
i wanted to tell you, mom, I swear I didn't drink
It was all the others, Mom, The others didn't think.
He didn't know where he was going, Mom, He was at the same party as I,
But the only difference is, Mom, He drank, and I will die.
Why do people drink and drive, Mom? It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling some sharp pains, Mom, Pain just like a knife.
The man who hit me is walking, Mom, I don't think that it is fair.
I'm lying here dying, Mom, while all he can do is stare.
tell my brothers not to cry, Mom, Tell daddy to be brave,
and when I get to Heaven, Mom, put 'Daddy's' Girl' on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom, Not to drink and drive.
If only he had known, 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?
...
no one said that life is fair.
life's unfair but god is good.(:
