I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way,
It wasn't that I didn't 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 know 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 a chance, I closed an 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;
It's not 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 to 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.
