They Don't Understand!!!



You know, the first time I heard this song, it made me cry!!!  And I realized how true every word of this song is!!! 




We have no idea what others are going through!!! 




Most of the time, we are too busy to even check on our neighbors!!!  



As I tried to write the post that you will see tomorrow, I kept hearing this song.  It took some time to find it!!!  But you will see it fits.  Click on the tile of the post and you can watch Sawyer Brown’s video of this song,



I hope these words will touch your heart!!!  I hope they make you think!!!




They Don't Understand
 -  Sawyer Brown

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, 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 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 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 its 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, 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 neighbor's going through.

(They don't understand)


A man hanging on a wooden cross

Giving everything to save the lost.
Everybody's starin' not knowin' what He's going through
Somebody said, “You don't have a prayer
If you’re 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 all right.
So please forgive your children
