(Jesus)
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 any more?
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 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 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 die!
See how, see how I die!
Oh, 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
