-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.
