Mommy.. 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.
Mommy, 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 Mommy, when I went to school that
day,
I never said good-bye,
I'm sorry Mommy, I had to go, But
Mommy, 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.
Mommy, please tell Daddy; That I love
him very much,
And please tell Zack; 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 grandmother;
I'll be waiting for her now,
And tell my wonderful friends;
That they always were the best;
Mommy, I'm not the first, I'm no
better than the rest.
Mommy, tell my teachers; I won't show
up for class,
And never to forget this, And please
don't let this pass.
Mommy, why'd it have to be me? No one
deserves this,
Mommy, warn the others, Mommy 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.
Mommy, I'm slowly dying, With a bullet
in my chest,
But Mommy please remember, I'm in
heaven with the rest.
Mommy I ran as fast as I could,
When I heard that crack, Mommy, 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 Daddy, On
that trip to the new zoo.
I wanted to get married, I wanted to
have a kid,
I wanted to be an actress, Mommy, I
wanted to live.
But Mommy I must go now, The time is
getting late,
Mommy, tell my Zack, I'm sorry but I
had to cancel the date.
I love you Mommy, I always have, I
know; you know it's true,
And Mommy all I wanted to say
is, "Mommy, I love you"
