"Teenage Fall From Grace"

On top of the world
at just sixteen
smart, pretty, popular
dating the star of the lacrosse team.

She throws on a sundress
and waits for a friend
to come pick her up
for a celebration of the school year's end.

His name is Cody,
he's seventeen.
The young new star
of the lacrosse team.

Right at six o'clock
they're ready to go
she's excited, could be the best night ever
don't want to be the last ones to show.

Now they're at the party
have had a little much to drink-
not quite to the point
where they're throwing up in the sink.

The night goes on,
they're out on the dance floor
when she decides that
she wants a little bit more.

Next morning she wakes up
wonders what went on
the night before because
now Cody's gone.

A few weeks go by,
and she can tell something's wrong
she tells her boyfriend she's fine
and he just plays along.

One night she tells him
and he starts to cry.
She hopes and she prays
that he won't say goodbye.

He sticks by her side,
while she starts to show
glad that her parents
don't tell her to go.

Sometimes at night
She sits and she cries
thinking that this
might be her demise.

Now she's lost it all,
not so popular now
she's been through too much scandal
for her friends to allow.

The baby is born
and now she's a mom
missing both her
junior and senior prom.

Her name is Danielle
She's a tiny thing
very cute, too
she's sure that the baby will do well.

She loves her daughter
more than the world.
Forever Danielle will be
her favorite girl.

The rest of her life
things move at a fast pace
but she'll never forget
her teenage fall from grace.
