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 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 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
