Jesus
i only want to say
if there is a way
take this cup away from me
for i donand't want to taste its poison
feel it burn me,
i have changed iand'm not as sure
as when we started
then i was inspired
now iand'm sad and tired
listen surely iand'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
iand'd want to know
iand'd want to know my god
iand'd want to know
iand'd want to know my god
iand'd want to see
iand'd want to see my god
iand'd want to see
iand'd want to see my god
why i should die
would i be more noticed
than i ever was before?
would the things iand've said and done
matter any more?
iand'd have to know
iand'd have to know my lord
iand'd have to know
iand'd have to know my lord
iand'd have to see
iand'd have to see my lord
iand'd have to see
iand'd have to see my lord
If i die what will be my reward?
if i die what will be my reward?
iand'd have to know
iand'd have to know my lord
iand'd have to know
iand'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 thereand's a reason
for your wanting me to die
youand're far too keen on where and how
but not so hot on why
alright iand'll die!
just watch me die!
see how, see how i die!
oh, just watch me die!
Then i was inspired
now iand'm sad and tired
after all iand've tried for three years
seems like ninety
why then am i scared
to finish what i started
what you started
i didnand'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
