I Swear I Didn't Drink
I went to a party, Mom
I remembered what you said
You told me not to drink, Mom
So I drank a coke instead.
I felt really 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
The party is finally ending, Mom
As everyone drives out of site
As I got into my car, Mom
I knew I would get home in one piece
Because of the way you raised me, Mom
So responsible and sweet
I started to drive away, Mom
But as I drove onto the road
The other car didn't see me, Mom
And hit me like a toad
As I lie here on the pavement, Mom
As I hear the paramedic say
The other guy is drunk, Mom
And now I'm the one to pay
I'm lying here dieing, Mom
I wish you could get here soon
How come this happened to me, Mom
My life burst like a balloon
There is blood all around me, Mom
Most of it is mine
I hear the paramedic say, Mom
I will die in a very 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 didn't know where he was going, Mom
He was at the same party as I
The only difference is, Mom
He drank and I will die
Why do people drink, Mom
It can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains, Mom
Pains just like a knife
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom
I don't think it is fair
I'm lying here dieing, Mom
While all he can do is stare
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom
Tell Granny 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 they would have taken the time, Mom
I would still be alive
My breath is getting shorter, Mom
I'm becoming very scared
Please don't cry for me, Mom
Because when I needed you you were there
I have one last question, Mom
Before I say Goodbye
I didn't even drink, Mom
So why am I going to die?

A Pizza, a Party, and a Moonlight Ride
Jenny was so happy about the house they had found.
For once in her life 'twas on the right side of town.
She unpacked her things with such great ease.
As she watched her new curtains blow in the breeze.
How wonderful it was to have her own room.
School would be starting, she'd have friends over soon.
There'd be sleep-overs, and parties; she was so happy
It's just the way she wanted her life to be.
On the first day of school, everything went great.
She made new friends and even got a date!
She thought, "I want to be popular and I'm going to be,
Because I just got a date with the star of the team!"
To be known in this school you had to have a clout,
And dating this guy would sure help her out.
There was only one problem stopping her fate.
Her parents had said she was too young to date.
"Well, I just won't tell them the entire truth.
They won't know the difference; what's there to lose?"
Jenny asked to stay with her friends that night
.
Her parents frowned but said, "All right."
Excited, she got ready for the big event
But as she rushed around like she had no sense,
She began to feel guilty about all the lies,
But what's a pizza, a party, and a moonlight ride?
Well the pizza was good, and the party was great,
But the moonlight ride would have to wait.
For Jeff was half drunk by this time.
But he kissed her and said that he was just fine.
Then the room filled with smoke and Jeff took a puff.
Jenny couldn't believe he was smoking that stuff.
Now Jeff was ready to ride to the point
But only after he'd smoked another joint.
They jumped in the car for the moonlight ride,
Not thinking that he was too drunk to drive.
They finally made it to the point at last,
And Jeff started trying to make a pass.
A pass is not what Jenny wanted at all
(and by a pass, I dont mean playing football).
"Perhaps my parents were right....maybe I am too young.
Boy, how could I ever, ever be so dumb."
With all of her might, she pushed Jeff away:
"Please take me home, I dont want to stay."
Jeff cranked up the engine and floored the gas.
In a matter of seconds they were going too fast
.
As Jeff drove on in a fit of wild anger,
Jenny knew that her life was in danger.
She begged and pleaded for him to slow down,
But he just got faster as they neared the town.
"Just let me get home! I'll confess that I lied.
I really went out for a moonlight ride."
Then all of a sudden, she saw a big flash.
"Oh God, Please help us! We're going to crash!"
She doesn't remember the force of impact.
Just that everything all of a sudden went black.
She felt someone remove her from the twisted rubble,
And heard, "Call an ambulance! These kids are in trouble!"
Voices she heard...a few words at best.
But she knew there were two cars involved in the wreck.
Then wondered to herself if Jeff was all right,
And if the people in the other car were alive.
She awoke in the hospital to faces so sad.
"You've been in a wreck and it looks pretty bad."
These voices echoed inside her head,
As they gently told her that Jeff was dead.
They said "Jenny, we've done all we can do.
But it looks as if we'll lose you too."
"But the people in the other car!?" Jenny cried.
"We're sorry, Jenny, they also died."
Jenny prayed, "God, forgive me for what I've done
I only wanted to have just one night of fun."
"Tell those people's family, I've made their lives dim,
And wish I could return their families to them."
"Tell Mom and Dad I'm sorry I lied,
And that it's my fault so many have died.
Oh, nurse, won't you please tell them that for me?"
The nurse just stood there ~ she never agreed.
But took Jenny's hand with tears in her eyes
And a few moments later Jenny died.
A man asked the nurse, "Why didn't you do your best
To bid that girl her one last request?"
She looked at the man with eyes oh so sad.
"Because the people in the other car were her mom and dad."
This story is sad and unpleasant but true,

For every heart that finds a love
There is a heart that cries.
For every dream that is reborn
There is a dream that dies.
For every day that's filled with sun
There is a day of rain.
For every hour that's filled with joy
There is an hour of pain.
For every smile upon a face
There is a tear to cry.
For every fond hello you say
There is a sad goodbye.
For every new life in this world
There is a grave to see.
For every heart that opens wide
There's one without a key.
