lyrics

Chorus (one voice):
He wasn`t some handsome king,
nothing about the way he looked
made him attractive to us.

He was rejected and despised,
his life was filled with sorrow
and suffering,
no one wanted to look at him.

Chorus:
Hold on,
Here he comes!
JC!
He`s hand-cuffed!
Hand-cuffed!

Chorus (one voice):
He was crushed and painfully abused,
but he didn`t want to complain,
silent like a lamb
led to the butcher.

As quiet as a sheep
having its wool cut off,
who could imagine
what would happen to him?

Chorus:
Hold on,
Here he comes!
JC!
Hand-cuffed!
He`s hand-cuffed!

Chorus (one voice):
We thought it was punishment from God,
but he was wounded for our sins
and made us completely well.

All of us were like wandered off sheep,
each had gone our own way,
but God gave him what we deserved.

Judge :
Have you got anything to say
in your defense?

Haven`t you heard how many crimes
you`ve been accused of?

Why don`t you speak?
Why don`t you speak?
Why don`t you speak?

Chorus :
Why don`t you speak,
Why don`t you speak,
J.C. ?
Say something!
Say something!

Chorus+ Reporter:
The silence is really heavy,
J.C. doesn`t say a word,
it looks like he doesn`t want to fight
for his life!

Chorus + Reporter:
Silence.The judge is amazed.
Now the jury retires.
Anguish,waiting,
here they come now!
The sentence is pronounced:

Chorus:
It is death!
No appeals allowed!
The sentence
will be carried out now !
The justice done!
