Sawyer Brown – They Don’t Understand

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 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

Mother riding on a city bus

Kids are yellin kickin up a fuss

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