Album: Jesus Christ Superstar

[Crowd]
Christ you know I love you.
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you, and god, so tell me that I’m
saved. (repeat)

Jesus I am with you.
Touch me. Touch me, Jesus.
Jesus I am on your side.
Kiss me. Kiss me, Jesus.

[Simon]
Christ, what more do you need to convince you
That you’ve made it and your easily as strong
As the filth from Rome who rape our country,
and who’ve terrorize our people for so long?

[Crowd]
Christ you know I love you.
Did you see I waved?
I believe in you, and god, so tell me that I’m
saved. (repeat)

Jesus I am with you.
Touch me. Touch me, Jesus.
Jesus I am on your side.
Kiss me. Kiss me, Jesus.

[Simon]
There must be over Fifty Thousand
Screaming love and more for you.
Every one of Fifty Thousand
Would do whatever you asked them to.
Keep them yelling their devotion,
But add a touch of hate at Rome.
You will rise to a greater power.
We will win ourselves a home.

Oh, you’ll get the power and the glory.
Forever, and ever, and ever.

Oh, you’ll get the power and the glory.
Forever, and ever, and ever.

Oh, you’ll get the power and the glory.

[Crowd]
Forever, Amen!

[Simon]
Forever, and ever, and ever.

[Crowd]
Forever, Amen!

[Simon]
Oh, you’ll get the power and the glory.

[Crowd]
Forever, Amen!

[Simon]
Forever, and ever, Amen!

[Crowd]
Forever, Amen!

[Jesus]
Neither you, Simon, nor the Fifty Thousand,
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
Nor Judas, nor the Twelve, nor the priests,
Nor the scribes, nor doomed Jerusalem, itself,
Understand what power is.
Understand what glory is.
Understand at all.
Understand at all.

If you knew all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem.
You’d see the truth, but you’d close your eyes.
But you’d close your eyes.

While you live your troubles are many,
poor Jerusalem.
To conquer death you only have to die.
You only have to die.
