Barabbas

O Jerusalem, Jerusalem I'd give my life for you Your Herods and your Caesars I'd bleed them dry for you If you'd only known me when Back when I was young Back when I was strong My name was feared And my tongue was fierce But now those days are gone I am my father's son And I'd make your kingdom come If you'd only known me when I am my father's son Jerusalem, O Jerusalem I am my father's son Jerusalem, O Jerusalem If you'd only known me when "Son of the father you stand accused Of violence and treason By order of the lord You we will execute" Choke and die On your words, you lie For freedom for justice I spill Roman blood Please, take my life And these stones will cry These stones will cry These stones they cry "Of these two you must choose One is a murderer The other The king of the Jews" Like a dead man returned to life I am the martyr who could not Die O Jerusalem, Jerusalem If you'd only known me when "Give us Barabbas"
