Gethsemane (I Only Want To Say)

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

Want to know, I'd want to know my God

Want to see, I'd want to see my God

Want to see, I'd want to 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

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

Have to see, I'd have to see my Lord

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, 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 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!

Then, I was inspired

Now, I'm sad and tired

After all, I've tried for three years

It 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!

Now, before I change my mind!
