I could have saved a life that day,
But I choose 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 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 that day,
But I choose 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 that you 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 have them live another day.
If you see a risk and walk away,
Then I hope you never have to say,
I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.
bagi sebagian orang: nyerempet-nyerempet bahaya kalau hanya sedikit nampaknya malah memacu adrenalin. ada juga yang berpikir, mati adalah urusan allah swt semata sehingga ada yang melakukan sesuatu dengan berpatokan pada: kalau celaka ya sudah nasibnya. apa iya sesederhana ini? ah, selamat menikmati liburan bagi yang libur panjang (lagi. kapan kerjanya sih, koq libur mulu? pegimana mo maju sih?:d)
