I Wish I Had Listened

I wish I had listened About my drinking and driving, Now my best friend is dead Because I drove without caring or thinking. I wish I had listened About drugs and all the kinds, For now my brain is damaged I can no longer control my mind. I wish I had listened As my parents each night prays, That I not have unprotected sex It is to late for now I have aids. To late I did not listen For now I have less time to live, To late because now I am pregnant To the innocent child aids I will give. We are young and think we know it all We ignore the dangers lurking out there, We ignore the advice of our parents We retaliate and just don't care. Now we pay the prices for not listening Now we pay with every agonizing breath, Even though we are still young Our bodies are worn and nearing death. We try to blame God for what we have become Though we know it was by satan that we were deceived, God tried so hard to teach us right from wrong Though it was satan to whom we believed.
