I only want to say (gethsemane)
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,
I'd want to see, i'd want to see, my god,
Why i should die.
Would i be more noticed
Then i ever was before?
Would the things that i've said and done
Matter any more?
I have to know, i have to know my lord
I'd have to see, i'd have to see, my lord
If i die, what will be my reward?
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 you wanting me to die
You're far to keen on where and how
But not so hot on why
Alright!
I'll die! - oh!
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've started....
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.
