A life was stolen today A moment passed and it was gone The carnage in the car accompanied the girl Who was here, now she’s there In a 3’ x 8’ cell
I’m afraid of my soul leaving my body there On a gassoaked road with nothing to give Take the time to count my blessings ‘Til the time it’s me they bury
Where is it we compromise to be? Why is it we think “It never will be me”?
Crash scene depicted with the victim ejected out Crushing of bone Feeling of shock Running the stop Cue paramedic, triage requested Until the 3’ x 8’ cell
I’m afraid of my soul leaving my body there On a bloodsoaked road with nothing to give Take the time to count my blessings ‘Til the time it’s me they bury
Where is it we compromise to be? Looking away at the wrong time
Too many others are complacent Caution may not stop a reckless path The driver of the car was shrieking As the girl who was here fought for air I hope I’m never there Strewn on the pavement Strewn on the pavement
Cue paramedics, triage requested Take the time to count my blessings ‘Til the time it’s me they bury I’m afraid of leaving my body there Strewn on the pavement I’m afraid of leaving my body there
