Peter's Denial Lyrics

Artist: Jesus Christ Superstar
Album: Jesus Christ Superstar Soundtrack

Maid by the Fire
I think I've seen you somewhere
I remember
You were with that man
They took away
I recognize your face

Peter
You've got the wrong man, lady
I don't know him
And I wasn't where
He was tonight
Never near the place

Soldier
That's strange
For I am sure I saw you with him
You were right by his side
And yet you deny it?

Peter
I tell you
I was never ever with him

Old Man
But I saw you too
It looked just like you

Peter
I don't know him!!!

Mary Magdalene
Peter don't you know what you have said
You've gone and cut him dead

Peter
I had to do it
Don't you see?
Or else they'd go for me

Mary Magdalene
It's what he told us you would do
I wonder how he knew?

Short and sweet. I've always loved this one.

How many people do we all know who deny the truth? Peter represents all the scared people, the weak overachievers who only pay homage to their heroes when it behooves them?

Peter is much like everyone I know. Fear causes us to act in a way we wouldn't normally act. Peter later asked for forgiveness and Christ forgave him. Where were all the other disciples at this point? Gone! At least Peter was still there...

Seriously! I agree with person, please don't be disrespectful. Some people (that would be me) find it offensive.
