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
Oh, I've tried for three years
Seems like thirty
Could you ask as much from any other man?
But if I die
See this song through
And do the things you ask of me
Let them hate me, hit me, hurt me
Nail me to their tree
I wanna know, I wanna know my God
I wanna know, I wanna know my God
I wanna see, I wanna see my God
I wanna see, I wanna see my God
Why should I die?
Would I be more lotus than I ever was before?
Would the things I've said and done matter anymore?
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I have to know, I have to know my Lord
I have to see, I have to see my Lord
I have to see, I 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?
Can you show me now that I will not be killed in vain?
Show me just a little of your omni-present reign
Show me there's a reason that you wanted me to die
If I took heed of where and how
But not so how or 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've tried for three years
Oh, it seems like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started?
What you started
I didn't start it
Not thy will is hard
That you hold may be gone
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
