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
Son 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
Through 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
Son 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
Son 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
