Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) - Gethsemane scene (with ENG subtitles) - "I only want to say"

♪ 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 30
♪ 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
♪ Want to know, I'd want to know, my God
♪ Want to see, I'd want to see, my God
♪ 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
♪ 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 will be my reward?
♪ If I die what will be my reward?
♪ Have to know, I'd have to know, my Lord
♪ 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
♪ Far too keen on where and how
♪ But not so hot on why
♪ All right
♪ I'll die
♪ Just watch me die
♪ See how
♪ See how I'll die
♪ Just watch me die
♪ Then I was inspired
♪ Now I'm sad
♪ And tired
♪ After all
♪ I've tried for three years
♪ Seems like 90
♪ 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

Thank you for adding this. I'm going through a rough time right now. I'm 24 and was diagnosed 3 years ago with Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, and Endometriosis. Things haven't improved and I'm in a lot of pain and my will is broken. I love the lyrics "I only want to say. If there is a way. Take this cup away from me. For I don't want to taste it's poison. Feel it burn me. I'm not as sure as when we started. Then I was inspired. Now I'm sad and tired. Listen! Surely I've exceeded expectatio
