Verse 1

She never cried, she only tried
To fly beyond her dreams
No walls around her mind
Deep inside she'd try to hide
That she was way beyond her means
No borders and no lines

Bridge

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someo-o-o-o-o-one

Chorus

Moment in paradise
Just a ... moment in paradi-ise, o-oh yeah

She floated out upon the wind
That blew my thoughts into the night
She knew the things she had to know
She drifted high above my mind
Blew my brains out, did alright
I think she knew it all along

She said that it's your duty to save your soul
To save it for someo-o-o-o-o-one
