Lyrics:
Jesus:
Will no one stay awake with me?
Peter?
John?
James?
Will none of you wait with me?
Peter?
John?
James?

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 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'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

  • A true mystical ...

    A true mystical expression.
    The master is up in the night seeking His divine grace and his brothers sleep and will not go within.
    So poignent the struggle to give up the ego and merge into the one.
    I've always loved this music, but never really got it til now.

  • As long as you know ...

    As long as you know what is being referred to, the term should be unimportant. What is the difference between a man's falsetto and a woman's head voice?

    Also, please explain how you know your teacher's training is right and others' is wrong?

    I'm sorry to sound arrogant but I'm trained to know, perform, and teach this stuff. a lot of kids get the wrong idea about their own voice b/c people are teaching thngs wrong.

  • There is a right ...

    There is a right and wrong. People don't know what they're talking about so they teach it wrong because they learned it wrong. There are a couple different names only becuase the difference between a male and female voice. Women have head voice. Men have falsetto. It's not difficult.

  • It depends on who's ...

    It depends on who's teaching you. I've heard it referred to as head voice, mixed-belt, falsetto, and rock-falsetto by several different teachers.

    There's no right or wrong.
