ANOTHER DAY

live another day

climb a little higher

find another reason to stay

ashes in your hands

mercy in your eyes

if you're searching for a silent sky

you won't find it here

look another way

you won't find it here

so die another day

the coldness of his words

the message in his silence

"face the candle to the wind"

the distance in my voice

isn't leaving you choice

so if you're looking for a time to run away

you won't find it here

look another way

you won't find it here

so try another day

they took pictures of our dreams

ran to hide behind the stairs

and said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall

but if they don't come down

resist the need to pull then in

and throw then away

better to save the mystery

than surrender to the secret

no!

you won't find it here

look another way

you won't find it here

so try another day

SPIRIT CARRIES ON

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 to 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

that spirit carries on

i used to be frightened of dying

i used to think death was the end

but that was before

l'm not scared anymore

i know that my soul will transcend

i may never find all the answers

i may never undestand 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"

safe in the light that surrounds me

free of the fear and the pain

my questioning mind

has helped 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'd be alright

because i believe

that after we're gone

the spirit carries on
