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
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
I'd want to know I'd want to know my God
I'd have to see I'd have to see my God
I'd have to see I'd have 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'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to know I'd have to know my Lord
I'd have to see I'd have to see my Lord
I'd have to see I'd 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, why should I die? Oh, 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, see how I die! Oh, just watch me die!
Then I was inspired Now I'm sad and tired
After all I've 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 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
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
Tried for three years Seems like thirty

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 have to see I'd have to see my God
I'd have to see I'd have to see my God
Why I should die
Would I be more noticed Than I ever was before?
