From Faith, Song 2 of 6
Don’t Look Away
Inspired by the parable of the Good Samaritan. The song translates the story into the present into a world where we constantly see suffering, but rarely truly perceive it. It does not focus on the act of helping, but on the moment before: The inner conflict between awareness and action. We see it. We know it. And still we move on. The song does not moralize, it confronts the listener with a question that cannot be avoided: What do you do once you have seen it?

There’s a man down on the sidewalk
No one stops
They just pass by
Neon flickers in the distance
No one meets him
Eye to eye
Phones are glowing in the darkness
Fingers scrolling through the pain
Another story
Another headline
Gone before it leaves a stain
We see it
We know it
We move on anyway
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Different faces
Different languages
Different sides
Of every line
We build walls
Inside our thinking
Call it truth
But we divide
We decide
Who’s worth our mercy
Based on where
They stand or fall
But compassion has no borders
It was never
Ours at all
We feel it
We hide it
But it’s still there underneath
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
What if it was you
On the ground
What if no one
Turned around
Would you stay
Or walk away
You saw it
You know it
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
Don’t look away
You saw it
You know it
Don’t look away
Stay this time
Don’t look away
Don’t walk by
Don’t look away
Be the one
Don’t look away
