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 too short"
"The here and the now"
And " Youre only given one shot"
But could there be more
Have I lived before
Or could this be all that weve got?

If I die tomorrow
Id be alright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

I used to be frightened of dying
I used to think death was the end
But that was before
Im 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
Id be alright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on


"Move on, be brave
Dont weep at my grave
Because Im no longer here
But please never let
Your memories of me disappear"


Safe in the light that surrounds me
Free of the fear and the pain
My questioning mind
Has help me to find
The meaning in my life again
Victorias real
I finally feel
At peace with the girl in my dreams
And now that Im here
Its perfectly clear
I found out what all of this means

If I die tomorrow
Id be alright
Because I believe
That after were gone
The spirit carries on

Whoever vs. Whomever

Choosing whoever or whomever can be easy.

Whomever is an object pronoun and works like the pronouns him, her, and them (Give the document to whomever in the department).

Whoever is a subject pronoun and works like the pronouns he, she, and they (Whoever wrote this poem should win a prize).

It all comes down to understanding how who functions.
Who and whoever are subject pronouns.
In sentences, they function the same way as I, he, she, we, and they. Subject pronouns refer to the person or thing that is performing the action of a verb. Notice how who and whoever act just like the other subject pronouns in these examples:

I opened the door to see whether it was still raining. Who opened the door to see whether it was still raining?
Whoever brought these brownies to the party should be commended! He brought these brownies to the party. He should be commended!

In contrast, Whom and whomever are object pronouns.
They function the same way as me, him, her, us, and them. (We left you out of this list because it’s formed the same way for both subject and object cases.) An object pronoun can serve as the direct object of a verb (something that receives the action of a verb), or the object of a preposition. Let’s look at a few sentences with these pronouns:

I decided to buy a present for her. I decided to buy a present for whomever I am assigned in the gift exchange program.
He will recommend whomever you suggest. If you suggest him, he will recommend

When tomorrow starts without me

there'll be a day when things change
and it wont be all that bad
I wont be there to block the rain
to give you the love that you wanna take

dont forget about the good times we share
never let those eyes shed no tears
dont be scared to go on living your life
just because I'm not here

And the sun will still come up in the morning
still go back down tonight
ant the days may seem a little darker
But I promise you're just a bright

close your eyes breathe in and you'll see
that it's Ok
when tomorrow starts without me

till Im a day the best I can

I'm a need you to stand real strong
Please make sure that they know
