Story behind the song
This song tells the story of two lovers whose happiness is so encumbered, that they feel it impossible to continue, so they make a pact to put things right in the next life.

IN THE NEXT LIFE

Verse
I close my eyes, I can't disguise how I'm feeling now
When I'm trying to be strong, though I know it's hard to be sunny with you
And I keep on calling on all I can do
Things have to be the way they are, I can't change them all
And I know, in this life there's so many things stand between us somehow
Must I change what heaven and earth will allow?
To keep us together right now
Chorus
But I'll keep on trying now
I'll keep on trying now
In the next life we'll fly all the way past clouds of doubt somehow
And I'm keeping my faith in you
I know that we'll come through
Don't be afraid, the plans we made will all come into view
And it's true
In the next life, we'll see it through
Yes I'll keep on calling on all I can do
(Even though we can't find a way, I'll find a way in you)
To keep us forever true
(Repeat chorus)
