Mom...
Johnny brought a gun to school,
He told his friends that it was cool,
And when he pulled the trigger back,
It shot with a great crack.
Mom, I was a good girl,
I did what I was told,
I went to school, I got straight A's,
I even got the gold!
But Mom,
When I went school that day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm so sorry Mom, I had to go,
But Mom, please don't cry.
When Johnny shot the gun,
He hit me and another,
And all because Johnny
Got the gun from his older brother.
Mom, please tell Dad
That I love him very much,
And please tell Chris, my boyfriend,
That it wasn't just a crush.
And tell my little sister
That she is the only one now,
And tell my dear sweet grand-mama
I'll be waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends
That they always were the best;
Mom, I'm not the first, I'm no better than the rest.
Mom, tell my teachers
I won't show up for class,
And never to forget this,
To please not let this pass.
Mom, why'd it have to be me?
No one deserves this,
Mom, warn the others-
Mom, I left without a kiss.
And Mommy tell the doctors
I know they really did try,
I think I even saw a doctor
Trying not to cry.
Mom, I'm slowly dying,
With a bullet in my chest,
But Mom please remember,
I'm in heaven with the rest.
Mom, I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack, Mom,
Listen to me, if you would:
I wanted to go to college,
I wanted to try things that were new;
I guess I'm not going with Dad
On that trip to the new zoo.
I wanted to get married,
I wanted to have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress, Mom,
I wanted to live.
But Mom, I must go now,
The time is getting late,
Mom, tell my Chris, I'm sorry,
But I had to cancel the date.
I love you Mom, I always have-
I know you know it's true.
And Mom, all I wanted to say is,
"Mommy, I love you."
