Music by dream theater<br>Lyrics by john petrucci<br><br>Nicholas:<br>Where did we come from? <br>Why are we here? <br>Where do we go when we die? <br>What lies beyond<br>And what lay before? <br>Is anything certain in life? <br><br>They say, life is too short,<br>The here and the now<br>And you're only given one shot<br>But could there be more,<br>Have I lived before,<br>Or could this be all that we've got? <br><br>If I die tomorrow<br>I'd be allright<br>Because I believe<br>That after we're gone<br>The spirit carries on<br><br>I used to be frightened of dying<br>I used to think death was the end<br>But that was before<br>I'm not scared anymore<br>I know that my soul will transcend<br><br>I may never find all the answers<br>I may never understand why<br>I may never prove<br>What I know to be true<br>But I know that I still have to try<br><br>If I die tomorrow<br>I'd be allright<br>Because I believe<br>That after we're gone<br>The spirit carries on<br><br>Victoria:<br>Move on, be brave<br>Don't weep at my grave<br>Because I am no longer here<br>But please never let<br>Your memory of me disappear<br><br>Nicholas:<br>Safe in the light that surrounds me<br>Free of the fear and the pain<br>My questioning mind<br>Has helped me to find<br>The meaning in my life again<br>Victoria's real<br>I finally feel<br>At peace with the girl in my dreams<br>And now that I'm here<br>It's perfectly clear<br>I found out what all of this means<br><br>If I die tomorrow<br>I'd be allright<br>Because I believe<br>That after we're gone<br>The spirit carries on<br><br>Hypnotherapist:<br>You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light. allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime. as the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into con<br>Sness remembering all you have learned. when I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed. open your eyes, nicholas.
