Lyrics

[00:00.60] Where did we come from?
[00:03.35] Why are we here?
[00:04.72]
[00:05.91] Where do we go when we die?
[00:08.52]
[00:11.82] What lies beyond
[00:13.51]
[00:14.50] And what lay before?
[00:16.25]
[00:17.37] Is anything certain in life?
[00:20.44]
[00:22.24] They say, "Life is too short,"
[00:24.67]
[00:25.74] "The here and the now"
[00:27.36]
[00:28.60] And "You're only given one shot"
[00:31.41]
[00:34.22] But could there be more,
[00:35.97]
[00:37.09] Have I lived before,
[00:38.92]
[00:39.85] Or could this be all that we've got?
[00:43.10]
[00:45.84] If I die tomorrow
[00:48.84]
[00:50.02] I'd be allright
[00:51.89]
[00:52.59] Because I believe
[00:54.78]
[00:55.53] That after we're gone
[00:57.29]
[00:59.91] The spirit carries on
[01:03.28]
[01:25.50] I used to be frightened of dying
[01:28.56]
[01:30.86] I used to think death was the end
[01:34.04]
[01:37.10] But that was before
[01:38.91] I'm not scared anymore
[01:40.91]
[01:42.35] I know that my soul will transcend
[01:45.34]
[01:47.96] I may never find all the answers
[01:51.21]
[01:53.58] I may never understand why
[01:56.70]
[01:59.45] I may never prove
[02:01.69]
[02:02.19] What I know to be true
[02:03.87]
[02:04.44] But I know that I still have to try
[02:07.99]
[02:10.87] If I die tomorrow
[02:13.98]
[02:15.04] I'd be allright
[02:17.54] Because I believe
[02:19.78]
[02:20.60] That after we're gone
[02:22.60]
[02:24.86] The spirit carries on
[02:28.29]
[02:33.35] Move on, be brave
[02:35.47]
[02:36.03] Don't weep at my grave
[02:38.04]
[02:39.04] Because I am no longer here
[02:42.72]
[02:44.28] But please never let
[02:46.27]
[02:46.96] Your memory of me disappear"
[02:50.39]
[04:23.95] Safe in the light that surrounds me
[04:27.51]
[04:29.50] Free of the fear and the pain
[04:32.81]
[04:34.68] My questioning mind
[04:36.74]
[04:37.49] Has helped me to find
[04:39.92]
[04:40.92] The meaning in my life again
[04:44.35]
[04:45.80] Victoria's real
[04:48.67]
[04:49.48] I finally feel
[04:51.05]
[04:52.29] At peace with the girl in my dreams
[04:55.98]
[04:57.97] And now that I'm here
[04:59.72]
[05:00.78] It's perfectly clear
[05:02.34]
[05:03.53] I found out what all of this means
[05:07.15]
[05:09.33] If I die tomorrow
[05:12.51]
[05:13.70] I'd be allright
[05:15.63]
[05:16.25] Because I believe
[05:18.32]
[05:19.19] That after we're gone
[05:21.31]
[05:23.37] The spirit carries on
[05:27.49]
[05:31.67]
