The Spirit Carries On

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end

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
