Gethsemane
Original Television Cast of Jesus Christ Superstar, John Legend
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
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
I'd wanna see, I'd wanna 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 anymore?
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 would be my reward?
If I die, what would 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? 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
You 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 oh, watch me die
Oh, watch me die
Then I was inspired now I'm sad and tired
After all I tried for three years
Seems like ninety why then am I scared to
Finish what I started?
What you started I didn't start it
God, thy will be done destroy your only son
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
