Oh I watched it all fall down

I saw your face in the crowd

I saw the tears flowing from your eyes

I saw the fire in the sky

And we had no reason why

I asked will we ever be the same

You said to me


The spirit lives on,

Long after life, long after death

Has crumbled to the ground

The spirit lives on,

Long after life, long after death

They will always be around

Because the spirit lives on


I heard about the cross

How they thought all was lost 

And how your friends trembled in their fear

And I heard about the nails

And the crown upon your head

And I know they thought you'd never rise again

But I can hear you say


I will live on

Long after life, long after death

Has crumbled to the ground

I will live on

Long after life, long after death

I will always be around

Oh I will live on
