Taken
She struggled pushing her child
To reach the park up on the hill
Stretching out a blanket well her little girl sits very still
Remembering when it was her daughter she would watch playing
Now as they sit under that tree that's where she does her praying
It doesnt seem that long ago but everyday she remembers
Every child's cry brings her back to last September
Its always a child's joy to run and chase a ball
But that's when she herd the screech of breaks and herd the neighbours call
There in the street was her daughter laying on her back
Behind the wheel and intoxicated there the driver sat
He wasn't hurt didn't hit him till the next day
Now he lives with it and each night he prays
Mom takes care of her daughter helps her in to her wheelchair
But with every kiss upon her child's head she thinks how life is so unfair
Thinking does it really mean nothing to a person when they can drink and drive
Than looking down at her daughter she just thanks god shes alive
