Lyrics Gethsemane (I Only Wanted To Say) [From "Jesus Christ Superstar" Soundtrack] - Edgar Oceransky , Tarang Nagi

I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I don't want to taste it's 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 know, I'd want to know, my God
I'd want to see, I'd want to see, my God
I'd 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
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, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I'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 there's a reason for
You wanting me to die
Far too 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'll die
Oh, just watch me die

(Instumental)

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
