I could have saves 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 knew he'd done the job before
If I called it wrong, he might get sore

The chances didn't seems that bad
I've 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 an eye
And with that act I let him die
I could have safe a life that day
But I chose to look the other way

Now everytime I see his wife
I'll know I should have safe his life
That guilt is something I must bear
But it isn't something you need 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

P/S this not mine, someone gave it to me....
