I Only Want To Say (Gethsemane)

I Only Want To Say (Gethsemane)
  (Ian Gillan / Webber - Rice - Jesus Christ Superstar)
  
  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 see, I'd wanna see my God
  
  Why I should die
  Would I be more noticed than I was ever 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 see I'd have to see my Lord
  
  If I die what will be my reward ?
  I'd 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 your wanting me to die
  You're far too keen on where and how and not so hot on why
  
  Alright I'll die!
  Just watch me die!
  See how I 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 is hard
  But you hold every card
  I will drink your cup of poison,
  Nail me to the cross and break me
  Bleed me, beat me, kill me, take me now -
  Before I change my mind
