Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries on
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?
They say, life is too short,
The here and the now
And youre only given one shot
But could there be more,
Have I lived before,
Or could this be all that weve got?
If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im 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
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
Victoria:
Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because I am no longer here
But please never let
Your memory of me disappear
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
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means
If I die tomorrow
Id be allright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on
