		I could have saved a life today,  
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 seem 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 saved a life today,  
But I chose to look the other way.  
 
Now every time I see his wife,  
I'll 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 stack.  
The question asked or the 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 today,  
but I chose to look the other way
