Original Broadway Cast of The Book of Mormon - Man Up [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[ELDER CUNNINGHAM]
What did Jesus do
When they sentenced him to die?
Did he try to run away?
Did he just break down and cry?

No, Jesus dug down deep
Knowing what he had to do
When faced with his own death
Jesus knew that he had to

Man up
He had to man up
So he crawled up on that cross
And he stuck it out
And he manned up
Christ, he manned up
And taught us all what real manning
Up is about

And now its up to me
And its time to man up
Jesus had his time to
Now its mine to man up

I'm taking the reins
I'm crossing the bear
Just like Jesus
I'm growing a pair!
I've gotta stand up
Can't just clam up
Its time to
Man up!

Cause there's a time in your life
When you know you've got to
Man up!
Don't let it pass you by
There's just one time to
Man up!

Watch me man up like
Nobody else
I'm gonna man up all
Over myself!
I've got to get ready
Its time to
Time to -

What did Jesus do
When they put nails in his hands?
Did he scream like a girl?
Or did he take it like a man?
When someone had to die
To save us from our sins
Jesus said "I'll do it!"
And he took it on the chin

He manned up
He manned up
He took a bullet for me and you
That's man up
Real man up
And now its my time to
Do it too

Time to be a hero
And slay the monster
Time to battle darkness
You're not my father!
I'm gonna time to
Just watch me go
Time to stand up and steal the show
Time ta! Mine ta!
Time ta! Mine ta!
Time ta -
