I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
For I dont want to taste its poison
Feel it burn me,
I have changed Im not as sure
As when we started
Then I was inspired
Now Im sad and tired
Listen surely Ive 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
Id want to know
Id want to know my God
Id want to know
Id want to know my God
Id want to see
Id want to see my God
Id want to see
Id want to see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed
Than I ever was before?
Would the things Ive said and done
Matter any more?
Id have to know
Id have to know my Lord
Id have to know
Id have to know my Lord
Id have to see
Id have to see my Lord
Id have to see
Id have to see my Lord
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
Id have to know
Id have to know my Lord
Id have to know
Id 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 theres a reason
For your wanting me to die
Youre far too keen on where and how
But not so hot on why
Alright Ill die!
Just watch me die!
See how I die!
See how I die!
Then I was inspired
Now Im sad and tired
After all Ive tried for three years
Seems like ninety
Why then am I scared
To finish what I started
What you started
I didnt 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
