Jesus Christ Superstar (1996 London Revival)
Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say) Lyrics:
[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 wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God,
I'd wanna know, I'd wanna know, my God,
Wanna see, I'd wanna see, my God,
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,
Hafta know, I'd hafta know, my Lord,
Hafta to see, I'd hafta to see, my Lord,
Hafta to see, I'd hafta see, my Lord,
If I die what would be my reward?
If I die what would be my reward?

Hafta know, hafta know, my Lord,
Hafta know, I'd hafta 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 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!

[Instrumental break.]

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.
