You're so busy with very important things that you've got to do,
You're so busy that you don't even have time to hear people callin' to you,
You're so busy worryin' about the things that are going down,
You're so busy you never see, somebody that you're pushin' around.
Why don't you stop, look and listen, listen,
It's what they tell the children, children,
Stop look and listen, don't run away.
Stop all your busy running,
Look for the people crying,
Listen to what they have to say.
You're so busy worryin' about the things that are goin' wrong,
You're so busy that you don't have time to listen to the sweet bird's song,
You're so busy making your money, trying to find your place,
You're so busy, you never see the smile on somebody's face.
Why don't you stop, look and listen, listen,
It's what they tell the children, children,
Stop look and listen, don't run away.
Stop all your busy running,
Look for the people crying,
Listen to what they have to say.
You got to stop and look around you, and listen to what people say,
You got to stop the busy running, you know that you're running away.
You got to stop and look around you, and listen to what people say,
You got to stop your busy running, you know that you're running away.
