gethsemane (i only want to say)

Singer: legend, john

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 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 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

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 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're wanting me to die

you're far to keen and 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

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 started?

what you started

i didn't start it

god

thy will be done

destroy your only son

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
