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.
