A Song That Means a LOT to me

Dream Theater - The Spirit Carries On

Where do 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 died tomorrow
I'd be alright
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 died 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"
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
If I die tomorrow
I'll be alright
Because I believe
That after ww're gone
The spirit carries on
One of the most uplifting, glorious songs I've ever heard in my life. The vocals, the lyrics, THAT GUITAR SOLO, the gospel choir at the end, it moves me to tears of joy every single time I listen to it. So now, I share it with you, my friends. Much love to you all :) :)
