The Spirit Carries On

(A song that came out in the year 2000 by the band "Dream Theater". Another seed planted in my spiritual journey. Twenty-one years later I used some of the song lyrics for my daughter's rembrance card.)

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 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 am no longer here But please never let Your memory of me disappear
