Gethsemane (I Only Wanted to Say) [John Legend]

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 30 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 I'd wanna see, I'd wanna see, my God I'd 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 anymore? I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord I'd have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord I'd 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? I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord I'd have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord 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 you 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 I die See how I die Oh, watch me die Oh, watch me die Then I was inspired Now I'm sad and tired After all I've tried for three years, seems like 90 Why then am I scared to finish what I started? What you started; I didn't start it God, thy will be done Destroy your only son 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
