Andrew Webber - Jesus Christ Superstar

I only want to say
If there is away
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 wanna know I'd wanna know my God
I'd wanna know I'd wanna know my God
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God
I'd wanna see I'd wanna see my God
Why I should die?
Would I be more noticed than I was ever 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 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 and not so hot on why
Alright I'll die!
Just watch me die!
See how I 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 the cross and break me
Bleed me beat me kill me take me now – before I change my mind

There he is! They're all a sleep – the fools!

Judas – must you betray me with a kiss?

What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening

What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening
Hang on Lord we're gonna fight for you

Put away your sword
Don't you know that it's all over?
It was nice but now it's gone
Why are you obsessed with fighting?
Stick to fishing from now on

Tell me Christ how you feel tonight
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?
Do you think that you may retire?
Did you think you would get much higher?
How do you view your coming trial?
Have your men proved at all worthwhile?

Come with us to see Caiaphas
You'll just love the High Priest's house
You'll just love seeing Caiaphas
You'll just die in the High Priest's house
Come on God this is not like you
Let us know what you're gonna do
You know what your supporters feel
You'll escape in the final reel
Tell me Christ how you feel tonight
Do you plan to put up a fight?
Do you feel that you've had the breaks?
What would you say were your big mistakes?

Come with us to age Caiaphas
You'll just love the High Priest's house
You'll just love seeing Caiaphas
You'll just die in High Priest's house

Now we have him! Now we have got him!

Jesus you must realise the serious charges facing you
You say you're the Son of God in all your handouts – well is it true?

That's what you say – you say that I am

There you have it gentlemen -
What more evidence do we need?
Judas thank you for the victim -
Stay a while and you'll see it bleed?

Now we hare him! Now we have got him!
Take him to Pilate!

I think I've seen you somewhere -
I remember
You were with that man they took away
I recognise your face

You've got the wrong man lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where he was tonight -
Never near the place

That's strange for I am sure I saw you with him
You were right by his side and yet you denied -

I tell you I was never with him

But I saw you too – it looked just like you

I don't know him!

Peter – don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead

I had to do it don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me

It's what he told us you would do -
I wonder how he knew ...

Who is this broken man cluttering up my hallway?
Who is this unfortunate?

Someone Christ – King of the Jews

Oh so this is Jesus Christ, I am really quite surprised
You look so small – not a king at all
We all know that you are news – but are you king?
King of the Jews?

That's what you say

What do you mean by that?
That is not an answer
You're deep in trouble friend -
Someone Christ – King of the Jews
How can someone in your state be so cool about your fate?
An amazing thing – this silent king
Since you come from Galilee then you need not come to me
You're Herod's race! You're Herod's case!

Ho-ho Sanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho
Sanna Hey Sanna Ho and how
Hey JC, JC please explain to me
You had everything where is it now?

Jesus I am overjoyed to meet you face to face
You've been getting quite a name all around the place
Healing cripples, raising from the dead
And now I understand you're God at least that's what you've said

So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're divine – change my water into wine
That's all you need do end I'll know it's all true
C'mon King of the Jews

Jesus you just won't believe the hit you've made round here
You are all we talk about the wonder of the year
Oh what a pity if it's all a lie
Still I'm sure that you can rock the cynics if you try

So you are the Christ you're the great Jesus Christ
Prove to me that you're no fool walk across my swimming pool
If you do that for me then I'll let you go free
C'man King of the Jews

I only ask things I'd ask any superstar
What is it that you have got that puts you where you are?
I am waiting yes I'm a captive fan
I am dying to be shown that you are not just any man
