gethsemane i only want to say

Jesus Christ Superstar

(Jesus)
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 want to know, I d want to know my God
Want to know, I d want to know my God
Want to see, I d want to see my God
Want to see, I d want to see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I ve said and done matter any more?
I d have to know I d have to know my Lord
Have to know I d have to know my Lord
Have to see I d have to see my Lord
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?
Have to know I d have to know my Lord
Have to know I d have to know my Lord

Why, why should I die?
Oh, 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, see how I die!
Oh, just watch me 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?
What you started
