Gethsemane

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
