[00:11.47]What lies beyond [00:14.33]And what lay before? [00:17.17]Is anything certain in life? [00:22.71]They say, "Life is too short," [00:25.60]"The here and the now" [00:28.80]And "You're only given one shot" [00:34.14]But could there be more, [00:36.96]Have I lived before, [00:39.85]Or could this be all that we've got? [00:45.58]If I die tomorrow [00:49.69]I'd be allright [00:52.47]Because I believe [00:55.50]That after we're gone [00:59.49]The spirit carries on [01:24.98]I used to be frightened of dying [01:30.68]I used to think death was the end [01:36.33]But that was before [01:38.90]I'm not scared anymore [01:41.83]I know that my soul will transcend [01:47.77]I may never find all the answers [01:53.52]I may never understand why [01:58.68]I may never prove [02:01.23]What I know to be true [02:03.88]But I know that I still have to try [02:10.11]If I die tomorrow [02:14.35]I'd be allright [02:17.02]Because I believe [02:19.93]That after we're gone [02:24.26]The spirit carries on [02:32.75]Move on, be brave [02:35.41]Don't weep at my grave [02:38.68]Because I am no longer here [02:44.17]But please never let [02:46.40]Your memory of me disappear" [04:23.33]Safe in the light that surrounds me [04:28.99]Free of the fear and the pain [04:34.19]My questioning mind [04:37.42]Has helped me to find [04:40.38]The meaning in my life again [04:45.99]Victoria's real [04:48.75]I finally feel [04:51.66]At peace with the girl in my dreams [04:57.36]And now that I'm here [05:00.20]It's perfectly clear [05:02.86]I found out what all of this means [05:08.60]If I die tomorrow [05:12.90]I'd be allright [05:15.61]Because I believe [05:18.54]That after we're gone [05:22.71]The spirit carries on
