The Spirit Carries On

John Petrucci, Dream Theater

[Intro: 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?

[Verse 1: Nicholas]
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 1: Nicholas]
If I die tomorrow, I'd be alright
Bеcause I believе
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 2: 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

[Chorus 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 4: Nicholas]
If I die tomorrow, I'd be alright
Because I believe
That after we're gone
The spirit carries on
