Lyrics
Don?t look away
Don?t look away when there?s someone that needs you
Don?t look ways from your feelings inside
Don?t look away when there?s something you can do
don?t turn your back on another?s demise
Chorus
Don?t look away, don?t look away don?t look away
don?t look away, cus it?s easy to do
don?t look away, don?t look away don?t look away
Don?t look away cuz its not about you.
Don?t turn your back on those getting older
Unable to take care of themselves
don?t look away at a time they most need you
At a time they are no longer well
Chorus
Don?t look away from the pain and the sorrow
Or the suffering and despair
don?t look away from that tiny bent stranger
Who?s reaching out for somebody to care.
