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
 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)
