Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On

Lyrics

[Intro: Nicholas] 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? [Verse 1: Nicholas] 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? [Chorus: Nicholas] If I die tomorrow, I'd be alright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on [Verse 2: Nicholas] 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! [Chorus: Nicholas] If I die tomorrow, I'd be alright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on [Bridge: Victoria] 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! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3: Nicholas] 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! [Chorus: Nicholas] If I die tomorrow, I'd be alright Because I believe That after we're gone The spirit carries on [Instrumental Outro]
