A never ending pain
imagine, a person who’s having fun
drinking the whole evening long
thinking to drive home
even though he knows it’s wrong
imagine, another person, trying to get home
back to the people that expect him
he’s already thinking about dinner
doesn’t know he’s going to be a ‘hit and run’ victim
the drinker drives dangerous
can’t seem to drive straight
the other one is walking at the wrong place at the wrong time
cause the drinker reacts too late
one second, one life
and the drinker makes his second mistake that day
in stead of calling an ambulance
he just drives away
the victim’s family is still waiting for him to come home
until that moment of incredible grief
sometimes the drinker gets caught
but even that won’t bring relief
off course the drinker should be punished
but there’s nothing more to gain
the emptiness stays
just as the never ending pain
Dedicated to the family and friends of ‘hit and run’ victims
drinking the whole evening long
thinking to drive home
even though he knows it’s wrong
imagine, another person, trying to get home
back to the people that expect him
he’s already thinking about dinner
doesn’t know he’s going to be a ‘hit and run’ victim
the drinker drives dangerous
can’t seem to drive straight
the other one is walking at the wrong place at the wrong time
cause the drinker reacts too late
one second, one life
and the drinker makes his second mistake that day
in stead of calling an ambulance
he just drives away
the victim’s family is still waiting for him to come home
until that moment of incredible grief
sometimes the drinker gets caught
but even that won’t bring relief
off course the drinker should be punished
but there’s nothing more to gain
the emptiness stays
just as the never ending pain
Dedicated to the family and friends of ‘hit and run’ victims
