What a great thread to start. Sorry couldn't pick just one. The first one is my current favorite and I try to remind myself of this EVERYDAY.
They Don't Understand
by Sawyer Brown
A mother riding on a city bus
Kids are yelling, kickin' up a fuss
Everybody's staring not knowing what she's goin' 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 fathers 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, 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 neighbors going through
(They don't understand.)
A man driving on the interstate
Slowing down traffic, making everybody wait
Everybody's staring not knowing what he's going through
Somebody honked 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 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, 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 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 you were king 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.)
Chorus:
Everybody's busy with thier own situation
Everybody's lost in their own little world
Bottled up, hurrt 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.)

This has always been my fav.
Silent Lucidity
by Queensryche
Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
You're lying safe in bed,
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head.
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day.
The dream is over, or has it just begun....?
There's a place I like to hide,
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize, and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears
Retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind.
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you
In silent lucidity
Visualise your dream,
Record it in the present tense,
Put it into a permanent form,
If you persist in all efforts,
You can achieve dream control...
...dream control...
...dream control...
::whispered:: (help me)
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see.
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down; a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly.
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize your dream's alive
You can be the guide, but...
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you
