Hosanna
[CROWD]
Hosanna, hey-sanna-sanna-sanna
Hosanna, hey-sanna, hosanna
Hey JC, JC, won't you smile at me?
Sanna, hosanna, hey superstar
[CAIAPHAS]
Tell the rabble to be quiet
We anticipate a riot
This common crowd
Is much too loud
Tell the mob who sing your song
That they are fools and they are wrong
They are a curse
They should disperse
[CROWD]
Hosanna, hey-sanna-sanna-sanna
Hosanna, hey-sanna, hosanna
Hey JC, JC, you're alright by me
Sanna, hosanna, hey superstar
[JESUS]
Why waste your breath moaning at the crowd?
Nothing can be done to stop the shouting
If every tongue were still, the noise would still continue
The rocks and stones themselves would start to sing
[JESUS & CROWD]
Hosanna, hey-sanna-sanna-sanna
Hosanna, hey-sanna, hosanna
[CROWD]
Hey JC, JC, won't you fight for me?
Sanna, hosanna, hey superstar
[JESUS]
Sing me your songs, but not for me alone
Sing out for yourselves, for you are blessed
There is not one of you who cannot win the kingdom
The slow, the suffering, the quick, the dead
[JESUS & CROWD]
Hosanna, hey-sanna-sanna-sanna
Hosanna, hey-sanna, hosanna
[CROWD]
Hey JC, JC, won't you die for me?
Sanna, hosanna, hey superstar
