*******************************************************************
I only want to say
If there is a way
Take this cup away from me
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 feels 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
I'd want to know I'd want to know My God
I'd want to see I'd want to see My God
I'd want to see I'd 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 any more?
I have to know I have to know My God
I have to know I have to know My God
I have to see I have to see My God
I have to see I have to see My God
If I die what will be my reward?
If I die what will be my reward?
I have to know I have to know my Lord
I have to know I 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
But 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've tried for three years feels like ninety
Why then am I scared to finish what I started?
What you started - I didn't start this
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
Now before I change my mind
