Lyrics for Song: Gethsemane
Lyrics for Album: Jesus Christ Superstar [1971]
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste it's poison
Feel it burn me
I have changed
I'm not as sure, as when we started
Then, I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
Listen, surely I've exceeded expectations
I tried for three years, seems lke thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man
But if I die
See the saga through and do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me, nail me to their tree
I want to know, I want to know my God
I want to know, I want to know my God
I want to see, I want to see my God
I want to see, I want to see my God
Why should I die?
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter any more?
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I have to see, I have to see my Lord
I have to see, I have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I would not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omnipresent brain
Show me there's a reason for your wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how but not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me die
See how I die
See how I... Die
Then I was inspired
Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I've started
What you started--- I didn't start this
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison
Nail me to your cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me
Take me now, before I change my mind
