GETHSEMANE
(1973) JESUS CRISTO SUPERSTAR
Sérgio Luiz Gallina
Jesus Christ Superstar é um musical de rock de Andrew Lloyd Webber, com texto de Tim Rice. Apresentado em 1970, destaca as lutas políticas e pessoais de Judas Iscariotes e Jesus. A ação ocorre, na maior parte, conforme os evangelhos da Bíblia sobre a última semana da vida de Jesus, começando com a chegada em Jerusalém e terminando com a crucificação.
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 sureAs 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 howBut 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
