Lyrics

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
I 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
Want to know, I want to know, my God
Want to see, I want to see, my God
Want to see, I 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 anymore?
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 have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I have to see, my Lord
If I die what would be my reward?
If I die what would 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
Alright, 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 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 be done
Take 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
Written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice
