Mother riding on a city bus
|
Kids are yelling kickin up a fuss
|
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
|
Somebody said don't you even care
|
Do you let them 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
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Everybody's busy with thier own situation
|
Everybody's lost in their own little world
|
Bottled up, hurried 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
|
|
Man driving on the interstate
|
Slowing down traffic making everybody wait
|
And everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
|
Somebody honked from the passing lane
|
Yelled out the window "I ain't got all day"
|
The old man looked around and he 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, hurried 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 your a king come on 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 alright
|
So please forgive your children, they don't understand
|
|
Chorus
|
|
Everybody's busy with their own situation
|
Everybody's lost in their own little world
|
Bottled up, hurried 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
|

Mother riding on a city bus

Everybody's staring not knowin what she's goin through
