Mom you told me you wanted me to be happy so I wanted to go to paradise

The lady told me that there was a 15 minute wait

I had my ticket but it was slipping from my hand

I could only take 10 not the whole 15

I'm getting weaker as 15 minutes turned to 10

I closed my eyes and imagined paradise

would it really be as nice?

I hear you crying from outside the door

but isn't this what you wished for?

My breaths getting slower as the minutes turned form 10 to 5

If you knocked the door down now i would barely be alive

My vision is getting hazy

My eyes are getting extremely lazy

The minutes go from 5 to 1

Looks like my trip is done

You knocked the door down a minute to late

Your little girl has chosen her fate

As im slipping away i think would it really be as nice?

Looks like i finally made it

Paradise.
