Gethsemane (From the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar") - Mark Seibert, Andrew Lloyd Webber

I only want to say

If there is a way

Take this cup away from me

For I don’t want to taste its 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?

Tried for three years, seems like 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’d wanna know, I’d wanna know my God

I’d wanna know, I’d wanna know my God

I’d wanna see, I’d wanna see my God

Wanna see, I’d wanna see my God

Why I, why should I die?

Would I be more noticed than I ver was before?

Would th things I’ve said and done matter any more?

I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord

I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord

I’d have to see, I’d have to see my Lord

I’d have to see, I’d have to see my Lord

If I die, what will be my reward?

If I die, what will be my reward?

I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord

I’d have to know, I’d have to know my Lord

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' and 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 started?

No, what you started!

I didn’t start it!

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!

Now, before I change my mind!
