Jesus Christ Superstar (2000): Gethsemane

Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter? John? James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter? John? James?
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
I'd 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, have to know, my Lord
Have to know, 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 you wanting me to die
You're far too keen on where and how
And not so hot on why
All right, I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I 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 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!
