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
