Jesus Christ Superstar - Poor Jerusalem Lyrics

A Staged Concert Performance of the 1970 Rock Opera
Jesus Christ Superstar - Poor Jerusalem Lyrics

The song is written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice.

JESUS
Neither you, Simon, nor the fifty thousand,
Nor the Romans, nor the Jews,
Nor Judas, nor the twelve
Nor the priests, nor the scribes,
Nor doomed Jerusalem itself
Understand what power is,
Understand what glory is,
Understand at all,
Understand at all.
If you knew all that I knew, my poor Jerusalem,
You'd see the truth, but you close your eyes.
But you close your eyes.
While you live, your troubles are many, poor Jerusalem.
To conquer death, you only have to die.
You only have to die.
