He Never Thought it Would Happen to Him

I'm just a statistic, a number, that's all
I once had a face, a name; I had dreams of my own
But all that was taken from me in a flash
When a drunk man thought he wasn't gonna crash
He thought that it would never happen to him
He was right, it didn't, it happened to me.
Because of his actions, with forever I must pay,
I forever must know that I could've been more,
I never got to live, I was so young.
Oh God and my poor parents, how can they cope?
They never thought that they would bury me
But because of one man all their dreams died with me,
A man who only thought of himself,
He never thought that it would happen to him
He never thought of all that I had to lose,
He never considered what he would take away.
He put me here in a place that has no care,
But now I must watch my family who are so scared.
Their little girl was killed and with her died so much of them,
Died so many dreams, goals and so many chances.
I had so much to give and so much to live for
But now it's no more, I am now here
Thanks to a man who never thought that it would happen to him.
If he hadn't riven drunk maybe I'd still be with you,
I'd still be daddy's little girl, I'd still have goals to fulfill,
And so many dreams to dream. I'd still want to be a doctor,
And want to help those in need, oh if only I could
I'd teach others what drinking and driving costs
And how many lives it effects, oh if only I could.
But I can no longer be there, no longer teach others,
Now it's up to you to show your brothers,
Drinking and driving doesn't just happen to you,
It doesn't just affect your life but so many more
So my dear friends - remember me always and never forget
Only you have the power to stop the impending tragedy
Take his keys, keep him inside, call him a cab.
He doesn't think that it will happen to him,
But he doesn't know who he will make it happen to,
So stop him now, it's still not too late,
If you claim to be his best friend how can you stand there
And watch as he gets in behind the wheel?
Stop him now while you still can,
Because friends don't let friends drive drunk.
