Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On Lyrics


-Present-

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?

If I die tomorrow,

I'd be all right,

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 all right

because I believe

that after we're gone

the spirit carries on.

Victoria Page:

Move on and be brave,

don't 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.

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 all right

because I believe

that after we're gone

the spirit carries on.
