Why Suffer?? from Not Mine by Carlos Truly

Missed her just, skimmed her by an inch
Can’t forget that highway since
Still I hope, whisper to the wind
I knew I’d seen a husband then
Round by the car near the shoulder’s where I saw him,
That naked king
Alone in his pity, like sweat in a cup

I was the stranger, he was the mad son
And I couldn't help her, his hand stops for no one
(I’ve seen the impossible)

So leave him there looking for his keys
Sister, why suffer?
Cruelty down on bended knee
Sister, why suffer?
I’m sick of hearing the same story over and over again

Hearing the same story over and over again
Hearing the same story over and over again

Is power in the silence that follows the outburst?
Or is power in the lightness, our gift to this new Earth?
(This is your reality)

So leave him there looking for his keys
Sister, why suffer?
Cruelty down on bended knee
Sister, why suffer?
I’m sick of hearing that same story over and over,
Sick of hearing his small story over and over
Sick of hearing that same story over and over again
