Josiah Queen - I am Barabbas

They said this preacher man comes from Galilee
Did something so absurd that he deserved to serve my penalty
How can it be?
I know I’ve done my wrongs, cuz doing wrong is something I do well
I know the court of law and something like this doesn’t ring a bell
How can it be?
How can it be?
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisoner, til you bought my bond with blood
And I can’t run away
From what my accusers say
‘Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, your friend
They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher man
39 of all them lashеs should have been on my own skin
How can it be?
How can it be?
Oh
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisonеr, til you bought my bond with blood
And I can’t run away
From what my accusers say
‘Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, your friend
I’ll never understand the repercussions of my every sin
Is this love or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness?
How can it be?
He looked at me and I said:
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was that prisoner, til you bought my bond with blood
And I can’t run away
From what my accusers say
‘Cause I am Barabbas
Oh I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, your friend
