Lyrics

[ti:the spirit carries on]
[ar:dream theater]
[00:00.33] why did we come from?
[00:02.71] Why are we here?
[00:05.52] Where do we go when we die?
[00:11.13] What lies beyond
[00:13.81] And what lay before?
[00:16.81] Is anything certain in life?
[00:21.74] They say,'Life is too short,'
[00:25.17] 'The here and the now'
[00:27.97] And 'You're only given one shot'
[00:33.79] But could there be more,
[00:36.53] Have I lived before,
[00:39.28] Or could this be all that we've got?
[00:45.21] If I die tomorrow
[00:49.51] I'd be allright
[00:52.13] Because I believe
[00:55.19] That after we're gone
[00:59.00] The spirit carries on
[01:24.70] I used to be frightened of dying
[01:30.31] I used to think death was the end
[01:36.19] But that was before
[01:38.37] I'm not scared anymore
[01:41.49] I know that my soul will transcend
[01:47.23] I may never find all the answers
[01:52.91] I may never understand why
[01:58.71] I may never prove
[02:00.96] What I know to be true
[02:03.89] But I know that I still have to try
[02:10.13] If I die tomorrow
[02:14.43] I'd be allright
[02:17.05] Because I believe
[02:20.11] That after we're gone
[02:24.10] The spirit carries on
[02:32.85] Move on,be brave
[02:35.28] Don't weep at my grave
[02:38.34] Because I am no longer here
[02:44.50] But please never let
[02:46.37] Your memory of me disappear'
[04:23.28] Safe in the light that surrounds me
[04:28.96] Free of the fear and the pain
[04:34.57] My questioning mind
[04:37.44] Has helped me to find
[04:40.18] The meaning in my life again
[04:45.99] Victoria's real
[04:48.86] I finally feel
[04:51.42] At peace with the girl in my dreams
[04:57.10] And now that I'm here
[05:00.03] It's perfectly clear
[05:02.78] I found out what all of this means
[05:08.70] If I die tomorrow
[05:12.95] I'd be allright
[05:15.32] Because I believe
[05:18.57] That after we're gone
[05:22.63] The spirit carries on
