    my name is Barabbas

    and i`m a badass

    i was waitin` for my death

    but they`ve chosen the prophet

    YO!

    and the Romans got him killed

    and me has no guilt

    the Romans are criminals

    they act like animals

    but the bible`s just a book

    and it`s writer was a cook.

    Peace y`all!

    lmao

    Barabbas Song

  • 1 decade ago

    This is all I could find

    BARABBAS

    from the CD "The Best Stories"

    He was just a criminal in a darkened cell

    And just how long he had to live, he couldn’t tell

    Found guilty as a murderer, guilty as a thief

    And often thoughts of dying wouldn’t let him sleep.

    Oh Barabbas, Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Then one day he heard his name, being shouted from outside

    He heard someone unlock his door and throw it open wide

    Well at first he thought his time had come, he began to shake with fear

    But the jail guard said, “You’ve been freed...now get out of here!”

    Oh Barabbas, Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Maybe that day, as he followed the crowd away

    Mixed emotions were written on his face

    Happy to be free, but sensing the bittersweet

    Of an innocent man that was dying in his place

    Oh Barabbas, Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Oh Barabbas I know how you felt on that unforgettable day

    It all became so clear to me when I called his name

    Though I’ve never killed anyone, never really was a thief

    But just the same Jesus paid my penalty

    Oh Barabbas, Oh Barabbas

    It should have been you

    Oh Barabbas

    It should have been me too
