For Her There's No Escape

At a time of celebration, Drinking lager in the bar. Go home, get changed for the night ahead, You decide to take the car. You're not quite compos-mentis, Your judgements not too sound. You're driving passed the local park, There's people all around. You can't see where you're going, Coz' you're searching for a tape. Then "Bang!", A child flies through the air, For her there's no escape. You didn't see her coming, Though she lies there on the floor. You haven't gone to try and help, You won't unlock the door!! You were sentenced to six months in prison, Got fined and banned for two years. The only thing that I have left now, Are my memories and millions of tears. If only I'd kept her in that day, She would be at my side, still alive. It was YOU who murdered my daughter, As YOU chose to drink and drive...
