don't look the other way

Lyrics

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
