Lyrics
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"
