Why Me Mom? - 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?
& "Ma quesion is why do the most important p'ple die,?
