Lyrics

Where did we come from?
 Why are we here?
 Where do we go when we die?
 What lies beyond?
 And what lay before?
 Is anything certain in life?
 They say, "Life is too short"
 "The here and the now"
 And "You're only given one shot"
 But could there be more?
 Have I lived before?
 Or could this be all that we've got?
 If I die tomorrow
 I'd be all right
 Because I believe
 That after we're gone
 The spirit carries on
 I used to be frightened of dying
 I used to think death was the end
 But that was before
 I'm not scared anymore
 I know that my soul will transcend
 I may never find all the answers
 I may never understand why
 I may never prove
 What I know to be true
 But I know that I still have to try
 If I die tomorrow
 I'd be all right
 Because I believe
 That after we're gone
 The spirit carries on
 (Present)
 Move on, be brave
 Don't weep at my grave
 Because I am no longer here
 But please never let
 Your memory of me disappear
 (Present)
 Safe in the light that surrounds me
 Free of the fear and the pain
 My questioning mind
 Has helped me to find
 The meaning in my life again
 Victoria's real
 I finally feel
 At peace with the girl in my dreams
 And now that I'm here
 It's perfectly clear
 I found out what all of this means
 If I die tomorrow
 I'd be all right
 Because I believe
 That after we're gone
 The spirit carries on
