Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On

[Verse 1: 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 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
