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've tried for three years, seems like 30
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See the star get 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
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 should I?
Would I be more noticed than I ever was before?
Would the things I have 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'd have to see, my Lord
Have to see, I'd have to see, my Lord
If I die, what would be my reward?
If I die, what would be my reward?
Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
Have to know, I'd have to know
Why should I die? Why should I die?
Can you show me now that I will 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 wearing home and not so hot on why
Alright, I will die, watch me die
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, it 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 and hail me to your cross
And break me, bleed me, beat me, kill me
Take me now, before I change my mind
Before I changed my mind
Written by: Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice
