They said this preacher man, comes from Galilee
Did somethin' so absurd that he deserved to serve my penalty
How can it be?
I know I've done my wrong 'cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do well
I know the court of law and somethin' like this doesn't ring a bell
How can it be?
And 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
ย
They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher man
39 of all them lashes should have been on my own skin
How can it be?
How can it be? Oh
And 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, ooh
ย
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?
But 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
