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 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 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, I'd have to know my Lord Have to know, have to know my Lord
Why should I die? 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, just watch me die See how, 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
