Jesus Christ Superstar (20th Anniversary London Cast Recording Highlights)
Gethsemane
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 ever was 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?
Have to know, have to know my Lord
Have to know, have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Why, 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, see
See how I die!
Oh, see, 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
There he is
They're all asleep, the fools
Judas, must you betray me with a kiss?
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 ever was 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?
Have to know, have to know my Lord
Have to know, have to know my Lord
Why should I die?
Why, why should I die?
