such a harsh reality. And to think that still after 37 years of his passing this song, little known, but so true, still could speak of so many we know. Now, yes I am still young, 23 to be exact, and yes I had my party days.... but glory to God that he showed me his light at quite a young age. I am one of a few I know- not really raised in the church but shown God from what seams like a miracle and turned around to him, but WOW this song gets me... even if I have never drove a day in my life. You know the drugs and drinking and the high life are just SOOO hard for some to walk away from. Lord, be with the lost souls.

Agony claws my mind. I am a statistic. When I first got here, I felt very much alone. I was overwhelmed by grief, and I expected to find sympathy. I found no sympathy. I only saw thousands of others whose bodies were as badly mangled as mine. I was given a number and placed in a category. The category was called "traffic fatalities." Now the day I died was an ordinary school day. Oh how I wish I had taken the bus. But I was too cool for the bus. I remember how I conned mom out of her car that day. "A Special favor," I pleaded. "'Cause all the kids drive." When the 2:50 bell rang, I threw my books in my locker. I was free until 8:40 tomorrow morning! Oh I ran to the parking lot, excited at the thought of driving a car, being my own boss. Being free!! Now it doesn't matter how the accident happened. I was just goofing off I guess, going a little too fast, smoking a little pot, taking crazy chances. But I was enjoying my freedom and having myself a ball. And the very last thing I remember was passing an old lady who seemed to be going awfully slow. Then I heard the deafening crash and felt a terrible jolt. Glass and steel flew everywhere. My whole body seemed to be turning inside out. I then I heard myself scream. Suddenly, I awakened. And it was very quiet. A police officer was standing over me. Then I saw a doctor. My body was so mangled. Pieces of glass were sticking out all over my body. Strange, I couldn't feel anything. Hey, don't pull that sheet over my head. I can't be dead. I'm only 17! I've got a date tonight. I'm supposed to grow up and have a wonderful life. I can't be dead!! Later I was placed in the morgue on a cold slab. And my folks had to identify me. Oh why did they have to see me like this? Why did I have to look into my Mom's eyes When she faced the most terrible ordeal of her life? And my dad suddenly looked like an old man, As he told the man in charge, "Yes - he is our son." And my funeral. It was a weird experience. I saw all my relatives and friends walk toward my casket. They passed by, one by one, And looked at me with the saddest eyes I've ever seen. Some of my buddies were crying. And my girlfriend touched my hand and sobbed as she walked away. Please - somebody - wake me up! Get me out of here! I can't bear to see my mom and dad so broken up. And my grandparents are so weak from grief they can barely walk. My brothers and sisters are like zombies. Walking around in a daze. Help me somebody. No one can believe this. And I can't believe it, either. Please, don't bury me. I can't be dead. I have a lot of living to do. I want to laugh and run again. I want to sing and dance. Oh please don't put me in the ground. I promise if you give me one more chance, God, I'll be the most careful driver in the whole wide world. All I'm asking is one more chance God. Please I'm only seventeen.
