They'll come to know me when I come back to life
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's going through
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
(They don't understand)
A man hanging on a wooden cross
So please forgive my children
Somebody hollered from the passing lane
For they have not seen the light
A mother riding on a city bus
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
Everybody's busy with their own situation
He said, “Please forgive me
He went to heaven
Giving everything to save the lost
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
But they've been up all night
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
You know, it's been a long life”
(They don't understand)
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
Their father struggled but he finally lost his fight
Do you let 'em do that everywhere?
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
(They don't understand)
Everybody's busy with their own situation
Everybody's busy with their own situation
My wife has passed away and my kids don't have the time
And it's getting hard to drive
(They don't understand)
A man driving on the interstate
'Cause you never really know what your neighbor's going through
(They don't understand)
Yelled out the window, hey ain't got all day
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Slowing down traffic making everybody late
Maybe we should stop and take a little time
Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
I've been left all alone
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Somebody said, “You don't have a prayer”
He said, “Please forgive them”
So please forgive me children
Kids are yelling kicking up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what He's going through
If You were keen, you'd come down from there
The old man looked around and caught his eye
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
(They don't understand)
She said, “Please forgive them”
Everybody's lost in their own little world
She slowly turned around, looked up and stared
(They don't understand)
Somebody said, “Don't you even care?”
So please forgive Your children
The man just turned His head looked up and stared
(They don't understand)
Go to heaven to make everything all right
Bottled up, hurry it up trying to make a dream come true
Everybody's living like there ain't no tomorrow
(They don't understand)
In the middle of the night
Everybody's lost in their own little world
