0:00Where did we come from
0:03Why are we here
0:05Where do we go when we die
0:11What lies beyond
0:14And what lay before
0:17Is anything certain in life
0:22They say "Life is too short "
0:25"The here and the now"
0:28And "You're only given one shot"
0:34But could there be more
0:37Have I lived before
0:39Or could this be all that we've got
0:45If I die tomorrow
0:50I'd be allright
0:52Because I believe
0:55That after we're gone
0:59The spirit carries on
1:25I used to be frightened of dying
1:30I used to think death was the end
1:37But that was before
1:38I'm not scared anymore
1:42I know that my soul will transcend
1:47I may never find all the answers
1:53I may never understand why
1:59I may never prove
2:02What I know to be true
2:04But I know that I still have to try
2:10If I die tomorrow
2:15I'd be allright
2:17Because I believe
2:20That after we're gone
2:24The spirit carries on
2:33Move on be brave
2:36Don't weep at my grave
2:39Because I am no longer here
2:44But please never let
2:46Your memory of me disappear"
4:23Safe in the light that surrounds me
4:29Free of the fear and the pain
4:34My questioning mind
4:37Has helped me to find
4:40The meaning in my life again
4:45Victoria's real
4:49I finally feel
4:52At peace with the girl in my dreams
4:57And now that I'm here
5:00It's perfectly clear
5:03I found out what all of this means
5:09If I die tomorrow
5:13I'd be allright
5:16Because I believe
5:19That after we're gone
5:23The 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 allright 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 allright 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 allright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on
