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
