Bilingual
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

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? (Ohh)
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-ooh)

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
