Lyrics

[00:00.39] Where did we come from?
[00:02.96] Why are we here?
[00:05.83] Where do we go when we die?
[00:11.47] What lies beyond
[00:14.33] And what lay before?
[00:17.17] Is anything certain in life?
[00:22.71] They say, "Life is too short,"
[00:25.60] "The here and the now"
[00:28.80] And "You're only given one shot"
[00:34.14] But could there be more,
[00:36.96] Have I lived before,
[00:39.85] Or could this be all that we've got?
[00:45.58] If I die tomorrow
[00:49.69] I'd be allright
[00:52.47] Because I believe
[00:55.50] That after we're gone
[00:59.49] The spirit carries on
[01:24.98] I used to be frightened of dying
[01:30.68] I used to think death was the end
[01:36.33] But that was before
[01:38.90] I'm not scared anymore
[01:41.83] I know that my soul will transcend
[01:47.77] I may never find all the answers
[01:53.52] I may never understand why
[01:58.68] I may never prove
[02:01.23] What I know to be true
[02:03.88] But I know that I still have to try
[02:10.11] If I die tomorrow
[02:14.35] I'd be allright
[02:17.02] Because I believe
[02:19.93] That after we're gone
[02:24.26] The spirit carries on
[02:32.75] Move on, be brave
[02:35.41] Don't weep at my grave
[02:38.68] Because I am no longer here
[02:44.17] But please never let
[02:46.40] Your memory of me disappear"
[04:23.33] Safe in the light that surrounds me
[04:28.99] Free of the fear and the pain
[04:34.19] My questioning mind
[04:37.42] Has helped me to find
[04:40.38] The meaning in my life again
[04:45.99] Victoria's real
[04:48.75] I finally feel
[04:51.66] At peace with the girl in my dreams
[04:57.36] And now that I'm here
[05:00.20] It's perfectly clear
[05:02.86] I found out what all of this means
[05:08.60] If I die tomorrow
[05:12.90] I'd be allright
[05:15.61] Because I believe
[05:18.54] That after we're gone
[05:22.71] The spirit carries on
