Scene Eight: The Spirit Carries On (with the Octavarium Orchestra) [Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York City, NY, 4/1/2006] (Live)

The Spirit Carries On (Live) - Dream Theater

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

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 alright

Because I believe

That after we're gone

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

Sing it

If I die tomorrow

I'd be alright

Because I believe

That after we're gone

The spirit carries on

Move on be brave

Don't weep at my grave

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

Come on singin'

If I die tomorrow

I'd be alright

Because I believe

That after we're gone

The spirit carries on
