Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On |
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 alright |
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 alright |
Because I believe that after we’re gone |
The spirit carries on |
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 |
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 alright |
Because I believe that after we’re gone |
The spirit carries on |
