Now I lay me down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul he take.

I pray for never ending night,
You have forever left my sight,
I hope you will remember me,
To my heart you hold the key,
Now your gone to be born anew,

I will slip past,
I will see you at last,
I pray you will be here,
I pray that you never feared,
I feel I'm getting near
I pray that it don't feel,
I feel my last breath's gone,
Never again will I see the dawn,
I pray this trip is easy.

I feel darkness' gentle grip,
I pray it doesn't slip,
Only it may take me,
To where I may see,
You lead the way,
Now it's my turn this day,
Light is no longer known,
As my body is thrown.

I feel the glass,
The pain has all but passed,
The sound of twisted metal,
I smoke never settled,
I open my eyes one time,
Once again I see the sign,
Large and red,
I'm sure the other's have fled,
My mind replays those sights,
Over and over I see head lights,
Never stopping, speed increasing,
After that your life was ceasing.

I see people walking around,
To my ears comes not a sound,
I see a lifeless lump,
With it, my heart slumps,
You have left me us,
But there is no reason for me to fuss,
I can see the look on their face,
We will soon be in the same place.

As I say something dear,
Someone draws near,
With my last breath,
He took these words to his death,
Tell mommy and daddy not to worry,
Tell them not to hurry,
I was not afraid,
And Mr. Tell them I prayed,

The man backed from the girl,
He looked at the boy then turned with a twirl,
He had a smile and a tear,
He had never felt as much cheer,
As when he heard those words from one of only 12 years.

Days later the two had been buried,
The ones who fled to jail they were hurried,
Tests had proven what others try to heed,
They had crashed after having some weed,

Parents cry,
As their children die,
At the hands of people like this,
You never know if that kiss,
Will be your last,
Try not to grow to fast,
Cause when you are,
You too might lose yours in a car.

Will you too pray,
Living everyday,
Or will you have regrets,
And someday you'll never repay those debts.
