Mom, I went to a party
By MADD – Mothers Against Drunk Driving
I went to a party
And I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, Mom
So I had 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 saw it coming, Mom
Something I expected the least
Now I’m lying on the pavement
And I hear the policemen say
“The kid that caused this wreck was drunk”
Mom, his voice seems so far away
My own blood’s all around me
As I try hard not to cry
I can hear the paramedic say
That this girl is going to die
I’m sure the guy had no idea
While he was flying high
But, because of his choice to drink and drive
Now I 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 “Mommy’s girl” on my grave
Someone should have taught him
That it’s wrong to drink and drive
Maybe if his parents had,
Then I’d still be alive
My breath is getting shorter
Mom, I’m getting really scared
These are my final moments
And I’m 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
