Don't drink and drive

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom
So I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mom
Something I expected least.

Now I am lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood is all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.

I am sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid, Mom
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put Daddys Girl on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it´s wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I d still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I am getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I am so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, I love you, Mom!
So I love you and good-bye.
