I Chose To Look The Other Way
I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way. It wasn't that I did not care I had the time and I was there. But I didn't want to seem a fool, Or argue over a safety rule. I knew he'd done the job before, If I spoke up he might get sore. The chances didn't seem that bad; I'd done the same, he knew I had. So I shook my head and walked on by; He knew the risks as well as I. He took the chance, I closed my eye; And with that act, I let him die. I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way. Now every time I see his wife, I know I should have saved his life. That guilt is something I must bear; But it isn't something you need to share. If you see a risk that others take, That puts their health or life at stake, The question asked or thing you say, Could help them live another day. If you see a risk and walk away, Then hope you never have to say, I could have saved a life that day, But I chose to look the other way.
