Gethsemane (i Only Want To Say) Lyrics - Singles - Andrew Lloyd Webber & Tim Rice

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 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 was ever before? 

Would the things I've said 

And done matter any more? 

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 will be my reward? 

If I die what will be my reward? 

I'd have to know, I'd have to know my Lord 

I'd have to know, have to know my Lord 

Why should I die? 

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, just watch me die 

See how I 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, 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
