Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On Lyrics - Dream Theater

Where did we come from? 

Why are we here? 

Where do we go when we die? 

What lies beyondAnd 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 alrightBecause 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 

Iknow that my soul will transcendI 

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 alrightBecause I believe 

That after we're gone 

The spirit carries on 

"Move on, be brave 

Don't weep at my trave 

Because I'm no longer here 

But please never let 

Your memories of me disappear 

"Safe in the light that surrounds me 

Free of the fear and the pain 

My questioning mind 

Has help 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 alrightBecause I believe 

That after we�re gone 

The spirit carries on
