I am Barabbas

They said that this preacher man

Comes from Galilee

There's something so absurd that he deserved to serve my penalty

How can it be?

I know I've done my wrong

'Cause doing wrong is something I do well

I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell

How can it be?

And how can it be?

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was a prisoner

Till you bought my bond with blood

And I can't run away

From what my accusers say

'Cause I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas, your friend

They made me sit right there

As I watched them beat that preacher man

39 of all them lashes should've been on my own skin

How can it be?

How can it be? Oh

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was a prisoner

Till you bought my bond with blood

And I can't run away

From what my accusers say

'Cause I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas, your friend

I'll never understand the repercussions of my every sin

Is this love?

Or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness

How can it be?

But he looked at me

And I said

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was that prisoner

Till you bought my bond with blood

And I can't run away

From what my accusers say

'Cause I am Barabbas

Oh I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas, your friend
