Never the Same

Somewhere a mother is crying Somewhere a father's in pain Somewhere some children are wondering Their lives will not be the same Where were you going that day Why didn't you stop at the light Were you thinking of the future Or what you would do that night You didn't seem in a hurry You were staring straight on ahead You never turned to see me You just kept on going instead We did our best to miss you We jammed on our brakes and prayed We turned, we swerved and we skidded But the outcome was only delayed Now your mother is crying Now your father's in pain Now your children are wondering Their lives will not be the same
