[MEMORY] The Spirit Carries On
昨天一個朋友傳這首歌給我聽，看了歌詞以後深深覺得很符合我目前難過的心情

Nicholas:
Where did we come from? 我們從那裡來?
Why are we here? 我們為何在這?
Where do we go when die? 我們死後將去何處?
What lies beyond 生命之後是甚麼?
And what lay before? 生命之前又是如何?
Is anything certain in life? 生命中又有甚麼事情能夠確信?
They say, “Life is too short,” 他們說 “人生太短暫,”
“The here and the now” “在這個時空中”
And “You’re only given one shot” “只有一次的機會”
But could there be more, 但還能有更多嗎?
Have I lived before, 難道我有前生今事?
Or could this be all that we’ve got? 或者這就是我….有的?
If I die tomorrow 如果我明天將逝去
I’d be all right 我仍會過得好好的
Because I believe 因為我相信
That after we’re gone 在我們走了之後
The spirit carries on 靈魂會繼續存在著
I used to be frightened of dying 曾害怕死亡
I used to think death was the end 曾相信死亡就是結束
But that was before 但那是過往雲煙
I’m not scared anymore 我不再畏懼
I know that my soul will transcend 知道我的魂已經超越死亡
I may never find all the answers 我可能無法解答所有的疑惑
I may never understand why 我可能永遠無法了解真理
I may never prove 我可能永遠無法證明
What I know to be true 那我相信是真實的
But I know that I still have to try 但我知道我仍要孤注一擲
If I die tomorrow 如果我明天將逝去
I’d be all right 我仍會過得好好的
Because I believe 因為我相信
That after we’re gone 在我們走了之後
The spirit carries on 靈魂會繼續存在著
Victoria:
“Move on, be brave 勇敢的繼續走下去
Don’t weep at my grave 不要在我墓前哭泣
Because I am no longer here 因為我已不在那裡了
But please never let 但永遠不要讓
Your memory of me disappear” 你心中記憶的我消失
Nicholas:
Safe in the light that surrounds me 懷抱在那安適的亮光之中
Free of the fear and the pain 釋放所有的恐懼及痛苦
My questioning mind 充滿疑問的心
Has helped me to find 又幫助我找到了
The meaning of my life again 生命的意義
Victoria’s real 維多利雅是真實的
I finally feel 我終於感受到了
At peace with the girl in my dreams 跟那夢中女孩在一起的美好
And now that I’m here 我現在在這裡
It’s perfectly clear 豁然開朗
I found out what all of this mean 知道了這一切的真意
f I die tomorrow 如果我明天將逝去
I’d be all right 我仍會過得好好的
Because I believe 因為我相信
That after we’re gone 在我們走了之後
The spirit carries on 靈魂會繼續存在著
