Rest In Paradise


Gone like the wind As quick as a camera flash It just went away You just went away Labeled a flash flood But nothing quick about it Except for it was sudden It was instant Oh the pain Oh the pain is constant What happened to "there you are" I knew you weren't far Until you and that car Now you're a shining star You grew wings along the way Now it's time for you to fly, fly-fly away Fly away It's the end For you here on this land Fly away Up and up Where you'll receive smiles from all of us In the Lord's presence, you will find When you look down, we'll be fine With you and He protecting us Pay no mind Rest In Paradise Boom goes the car Right in to that ditch It happened so fast Oh your life was quick Boom goes the car Boom goes your life Smashed, smushed, crushed by that tree It was a blink of an eye Oh the pain The pain will never subside Tell me where you are You couldn't have gone far Until you and that car Now you're a shinning star You grew wings along the way Now it's time fer you to fly, fly-fly away Fly away It's the end For you here on this land Fly away Up and up Where you'll receive smiles from all of us In the Lord's presence, you will find When you look down, we'll be fine With you and He protecting us Pay no mind Rest In Paradise Shocking news Feel like you can't breathe without gills Feel like you're underwater And you thought cancer itself could kill Zap goes the chemo Off comes the hair Not giving up hope Don't let them see your despair All there is, is pain I call out. You aren't there I don't know where you are Help me out North Star Tell me where you are You're safe within His arms You were my angel, and still today Now it's time fer you to fly, fly-fly away Fly away It's the end For you here on this land Fly away Up and up Where you'll receive smiles from all of us In the Lord's presence, you will find When you look down, we'll be fine With you and He protecting us Pay no mind Rest In Paradise There was a note Inside a sealed envelope It led us to you Hand written and personal It led us to the attic With a chair kicked over Extension cord hanging It was wrapped around tight Oh, please Lord Why why why why why why why-y! Why'd you have to go Didn't you know Oh, I loved you so Why'd you have to go You grew wings along the way Now it's time fer you to fly, fly-fly away
