A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling, kickin' up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's goin' 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 fathers 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.)

Chorus:
Everybody's busy with thier 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 neighbors going through
(They don't understand.)

A man driving on the interstate
Slowing down traffic, making everybody wait
Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
Somebody honked 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 gettin' hard to drive
So please forgive me children.''

(They don't understand.)

Chorus:
Everybody's busy with thier 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 neighbors 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 goin through
Somebody said, ''You don't have a prayer
If you were king 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.)

Chorus:
Everybody's busy with thier own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurrt 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 neighbors going through.

(They don't understand.)

A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yellin, kickin' up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's goin' through...
