i only want to say gethsemane

Andrew Lloyd Webber

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.
