Who's Suffering Now was written in 2007. Somewhat of a rub it in your face song, it is a personal look at evaluating behaviour and the consequences that may follow.
lyrics
Like a liberated dove – I fly through the sky
To bring balance, peace and love
Then breathe the reason why
You come across so aggravating
Let’s end the war; I’m tired of waiting
I ask of you to tell me
Who’s suffering now
Like an ear to the ground – I listen to the words
Let go and start to fall
Don’t wait to take your turn
You bring about so much complication
There’s no need to feel this hatred
I ask of you to tell me
Who’s suffering now
Like an ordinary man – I travel through the day
And with every step I plan
To unravel what they say
You defy all sense of passion
Void of thought; drenched in confusion
I ask of you to tell me
Who’s suffering now
You hide your face and lose your anger
You make the claim I’ll burn forever
But still I ask of you to tell me
Who’s suffering now
Like sand upon the shore – I move with the wind
Though the surf does take a toll
It won’t make my heart sink
You think you can end this magic
Then how come your life’s so tragic
Though I ask you will not tell me
Who’s suffering now
