From the musical, Jesus Christ Superstar

Every time I look at you I don’t understand
Why you let the things you did get so out of hand.
You’d have managed better if you’d had it planned.
Why’d you choose such a backward time and such a strange land?
If you’d come today you would have reached a whole nation.
Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication.

Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong now.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong now.
Don’t you get me wrong.
I only want to know.
Only want to know.
I only want to know now.
Only want to know.
I only want to know.
Only want to know.
I only want to know now.
Only want to know.

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you’re what they say you are?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you’re what they say you are?

Tell me what you think about your friends at the top.
Who’d you think besides yourself’s the pick of the crop?
Buddha, was he where it’s at? Is he where you are?
Could Mohammed move a mountain, or was that just PR?
Did you mean to die like that? Was that a mistake, or
Did you know your messy death would be a record breaker?

Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong now.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong.
Don’t you get me wrong now.
Don’t you get me wrong.
I only want to know.
Only want to know.
I only want to know now.
Only want to know.
I only want to know.
Only want to know.
I only want to know now.
Only want to know.

Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Who are you? What have you sacrificed?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you’re what they say you are?
Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you’re what they say you are?

Jesus Christ Superstar,
Do you think you’re what they say you are?

High flying, adored, so young, the instant queen
a rich beautiful thing, of all the talents a cross between a
fantasy of the bedroom and a saint
And you were just a back street girl,
hustling and fighting, scratching and biting.
 
High flying, adored, did you believe in your wildest moments,
all this would be yours, that you`d become the lady of them all ?
Were there stars in your eyes when you crawled in at night,
from the bars, from the sidewalks, from the gutter theatrical ?
Don`t look down, it`s a long, long way to fall .
 
High flying, adored, what happens now, where do you go from here?
For someone on top of the world, the view is not exactly clear,
a shame you did it all at twenty-six.
There are no mysteries now, nothing can thrill you, no one fulfill you.
 
High flying, adored, I hope you come to terms with boredom.
So famous, so easily, so soon, is not the wisest thing to be.
You won`t care if they love you, it`s been done before,
You`ll despair if they hate you, you`ll be drained of all energy,
all the young, who`ve made it would agree .
 
High flying, adored, I´ve been called names, but they`re the strangest,
my story`s quite usual, local girl, makes good, weds famous man.
I was slap in the right place at the perfect time,
filled the gap, I was lucky, but one thing I`ll say for me
no one else can fill it like I can.

Verse 1:
Child of the wilderness
Born into emptiness
Learn to be lonely
Learn to find your way in darkness
Verse 2:
Who will be there for you
Comfort and care for you
Learn to be lonely
Learn to be your one companion
Chorus:
Ever dreamed, out in the world
There are arms to hold you?
You’ve always known
Your heart was on it’s own
Verse 3:
So laugh in your loneliness
Child of the wilderness
Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love
Life that is lived alone
Solo:

Outro:
Learn to be lonely
Life can be lived
Life can be loved
Alone

Some folks dream of the wonders they’ll do
Before their time on this planet is through
Some just don’t have anything planned
They hide their hopes and their heads in the sand

Now I don’t say who wrong who is right
But if by chance you are here for the night
Then all I need is an hour or two
To tell the tale of a dreamer like you

We all dream a lot
Some are lucky
Some are not

But if you think it
Want it
Dream it
Then it’s real
You are what you feel

[GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG]And all that I say
Can be told another way
With the story of a boy who’s dreams came true
And it could be you
