I DO ME

이 노래 이야기

화자는 자신이 마땅히 받아야 할 벌을 대신 짊어진 존재를 향해 "나는 바라바"라고 고백하며, 죄인이었던 자신이 대가 없이 풀려난 상황을 되짚는다. "I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross"라는 구절이 반복되며 그 부채감을 계속 확인시킨다.

채찍질이 마땅히 자신의 몸에 떨어져야 했다는 구절에서 자신이 피했던 형벌의 무게가 구체적으로 드러나고, "How can it be?"라는 되물음이 반복되며 이해할 수 없는 상황 앞에서의 혼란이 이어진다.

자신이 감당해야 할 몫을 누군가 대신 짊어졌다는 생각이 들 때 마음이 겹치는 곡이다.

They said this preacher man comes from GalileeDid something so absurd that He deserved to serve my penaltyHow can it be?I know I've done my wrong 'cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do wellI know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bellHow can it be?How can it be?

I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend

They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher manThirty-nine of all them lashes should have been on my own skinHow can it be?How can it be?

Woah, I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend, ooh, ooh-ooh

I'll never understand the repercussions of my every sinIs 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 crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend

Alright, y'all sing it tonightAnd I said

I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend
