[MALE GROUP]
Et homo factus est

[SOLO BARITONE]
And was made man

[MALE GROUP]
And was made man, and was made man, and was made man

[SOLO BARITONE]
And you become a man

[MALE GROUP]
And was made man, and was made man

[SOLO BARITONE & MALE GROUP]
You, God, chose to become a man (Man)
To pay the earth a small social call (And was made man)
I tell you, sir, you never were (And was made man)
A man at all

[SOLO BARITONE]
Why?
You had the choice
When to live
When to die
And then
Become a god again
[MALE GROUP]
And was made man, and was made man

[SOLO BARITONE & MALE GROUP]
And then a plaster god like you (God like you)
Has the gall to tell me what to do (A God like you)
To become a man
To show my respect on my knees (Too)
Go genuflect (Be like a man)
But don't expect guarantees (Be like a man)

[SOLO BARTIONE]
Oh, just play it dumb
Play it blind
But when I go
Then
Will I become a god again?

[MALE GROUP]
Possibly yes
Probably no
Probably no

[SOLO BARITONE]
Yes, probably no
Give me a choice
I never had a choice
Or I would have been a simple tree
A barnacle in a silent sea
Anything but what I must be
A man
A man
A man!
[MALE GROUP]
Possibly yes
Probably no

[SOLO BARITONE & MALE GROUP]
You knew what you had to do (Possibly yes)
You knew why you had to die (Probably no)
You chose to die, and then revive again (Man)
You chose, you rose alive again (Man)

[SOLO BARITONE]
But I
I don't know why I should live
If only to die
Well, I'm not gonna buy it!

[MALE GROUP]
Possibly yes
Probably no

[SOLO BARITONE & MALE GROUP]
I'll never say credo (Possibly yes)
How can anybody say credo? (Probably no)
I want to say credo

[PRERECORDED CHOIR]
Crucifixus etiam pro nobis sub Pontio Pilato
Passus, et sepultus est
Et resurrexit tertia die
Secundum scripturas
Et ascendit in caelum
Sedet ad dexteram Patris
Et iterum venturus est cum gloria judicare
Vivos et mortuos
