A mother riding on a city bus Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through Somebody said,? Don't you even care? Do you let 'em do that everywhere? She slowly turned around, looked up and stared She said,? Please forgive them? But they've been up all night Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight He went to heaven In the middle of the night So please forgive my children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A man driving on the interstate Slowing down traffic making everybody late Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through Somebody hollered from the passing lane Yelled out the window, hey ain't got all day The old man looked around and caught his eye He said,? Please forgive me You know, it's been a long life? My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time I've been left all alone And it's getting hard to drive So please forgive me children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A man hanging on a wooden cross Giving everything to save the lost Everybody's staring not knowing what He's going through Somebody said,? You don't have a prayer? If You were keen, you'd come down from there The man just turned His head looked up and stared He said,? Please forgive them? For they have not seen the light They'll come to know me when I come back to life Go to heaven to make everything all right So please forgive Your children (They don't understand) Everybody's busy with their own situation Everybody's lost in their own little world Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true (They don't understand) Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow Maybe we should stop and take a little time 'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through (They don't understand) A mother riding on a city bus Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
