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
