Okay 

So I have been on hiatus from the list for a little while but now
instead of reading African women in literature, I'm deciphering obscure
song lyrics...

It should be known that I do not have a copy of ASR.  I'm working from a
live bootleg.  Here's what I hear.

I'll only post the differences I can find.

I think I hear:

Is the suffering you/we feel the loss?

How about:
  
*all the anger, EASE it down*

*maybe you should turn your face tonight
learn to see yourself in a different light
If *HE* were to take my place tonight,
ooh now wouldn't Jesus be surprised?

just thoughts...
