Don't Look The Other Way

I remember Dad and I

Stopped the car one rainy night

To help a stranger fix a flat

And get on his way

And I said Daddy do you know that man

Was he one of your friends

And he just smiled Said let me help you understand

So don't look the other way

When you can help someone in need

The good Lord gave you eyes

Don't pretend that you can't see

That might be you someday

So don't look the other way

Thru the wind and pouring rain

As we drove away

My Dad he sat there soaking wet

With a smile on his face

And I knew

Though I was just a kid I'd always remember what he did

When raindrops fell His words would fill my mind again

So don't look the other way

When you can help someone in need

The good Lord gave you eyes

Don't pretend that you can't see

That might be you someday

So don't look the other way

And now many years have come and gone Daddy's barely hanging on

If I turn my back I won't have to see it end like that

But I don't look the other way

When I can help someone in need

The good Lord gave me eyes for a reason

Now I see

That might be me someday I won't look

The other way
