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
