A midnight drive, an icy road
Squealing tires, and screaming metal
Your life has been changed forever
When the dust, at last, has settled
Paraplegic, crippled for life
With no chance of recovery
Rehab, and constant therapy
Each breakthrough, a discovery
You battle for mobility
Each little bit of it, hard earned
One night of reckless revelry
Turned into a lesson, hard learned
