gethsemane

Andrew Lloyd Webber

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I donââ?¬â?¢t want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed
Iââ?¬â?¢m not as sure
As when we started

Then I was inspired
Now Iââ?¬â?¢m sad and tired
Listen, surely Iââ?¬â?¢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
Iââ?¬â?¢d want to know Iââ?¬â?¢d want to know my God
Iââ?¬â?¢d want to see Iââ?¬â?¢d want to see my God

Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I was ever before?
Would the things Iââ?¬â?¢ve said and done matter any more?
Iââ?¬â?¢d have to know Iââ?¬â?¢d have to know my Lord
Iââ?¬â?¢d have to see Iââ?¬â?¢d have to see my Lord

If I die what will be my reward?
Iââ?¬â?¢d have to know Iââ?¬â?¢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 thereââ?¬â?¢s a reason for your wanting me to die
Youââ?¬â?¢re far too keen on where and how but not so hot on why
Alright Iââ?¬â?¢ll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!

Then I was inspired
Now Iââ?¬â?¢m sad and tired
After all Iââ?¬â?¢ve tried for three years, seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started
What you started -- I didnââ?¬â?¢t start it
God thy will is hard
But you hold every card
I will drink your cup of poison,
Nail me to the cross and break me
Bleed me, beat me, kill me
Take me now
Before I change my mind....
