Lyrics:

Mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling kickin up a fus
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 fathers struggled but he finally lost his life
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 really don't 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 pass 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 i've been whispering all night
My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time
I've been there dont that 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 really don't know what your neighbors going through
They don't understand

Man hanging on a wooden cross
Giving everything to save the lord
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
They'll go to heaven and make everything alright
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, 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 really don't know what your neighbors going through
They don't understand

Mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yellin kickin up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowin what she's goin through
