Original Cast Of His Story The Musical Lyrics
(performed by Black Gryph0n, Giovanni Beatty & Chase Crandell)
(from "His Story The Musical" soundtrack)
[BIG PHARISEE:]
So Judas will you help us?
The world doesn't need Him
He's a diseased tree growing out of season
[LITTLE PHARISEE:]
Poison to perfection
While proclaiming that He's perfect
Using the authority of heaven
To build thrones for the worthless
[BOTH PHARISEES:]
Oh, go on sure
This is not the Messiah
We've been waiting so long for
[BIG PHARISEE:]
So long for now, Jesus
[LITTLE PHARISEE:]
So Judas
[BOTH PHARISEES:]
Will you help us out?
[JUDAS:]
Let me think about it
It's hard to keep secrets from yourself
When the fact is that I've been
Hearing voices in my head
As for me I'm feeling that I fell
But the truth is it really could be you
This time instead
What is it that I really want this time?
What is it I so desperately crave?
What is it that I really want this time?
Do I really wanna know the way?
[SATAN:]
Move, you know who I am
You know that I can't be kept away
Move, you know who I am
And so take my hand and be swept away
Yeah, hey, it's me
I've been watching from the sidelines
Been watching how the guidelines
Maintain and restrain you, uh huh
Yeah, hey, it's me
I've been watching how you complain
Gettin' bossed around by The Way
So I'll say what I say is true
You got potential
So take this pencil that's in my hand
And write your own story
He's not the only one that's got a plan
Stop seeking, asking, knocking, man
You're mistakin'
Nobody's home
So either we got go
Or we gotta break in
Move, you know who I am
You know that I can't be kept away
Move, you know who I am
And so take my hand and be swept away
[JUDAS:]
When the choice was given
Darkness allured me with attraction
I walked straight into a prison
The door was locked at my distraction
I looked away, fell
I couldn't think, I couldn't breathe
I could just hear a voice repeating
[SATAN:]
Judas will you follow me?
Will you follow me?
Will you follow me?
Just breathe with me
Just be with me
Let your heart start to beat with me
Beat with me
Just think with me
Your soul linked with me
Let it all fall in sync with me
Sync with me
Sink with me
Move, you know who I am, you know who I am
Move, you know who I am, you know who I am
Move, you know who I am, you know who I am
Move, you know who I am, you know who I am
[JUDAS:]
I don't know how to stop it
It's like ropes are being tied to my hands
I'm becoming someone's puppet
Numbness grows darkness expands
Things are going blurry
I'm losing all control
But somehow I don't feel worried
When I'm walking with the pull
[SATAN:]
Move, you know who I am
You know who I am
Move!
[BOTH PHARISEES:]
So Judas can you help us?
[JUDAS:]
I can, I can!
'Cause you know who I am
Yes you know who I am
You know who I am
Who
[SATAN/JUDAS:]
I am
So Judas will you help us?
The world doesn't need Him
He's a diseased tree growing out of season
[LITTLE PHARISEE:]
Poison to perfection
While proclaiming that He's perfect
Using the authority of heaven
To build thrones for the worthless
[BOTH PHARISEES:]
