" You should have looked by twice
Before you looked away
It would have been nice
If you could have stopped to pray
Have you ever thought
The people that you looked passed
Where are they today?
The people that you thought of last
When you had looked away
The people that you could have known
If only time could tell
The friendships that you could have told
The people you knew well
If only it was meant to be
If only you could have learnt
What happened to that little girl?
After your head turned?
Remember that old man or woman?
You never knew the love they craved
And of only you had known the girl
That your smile had saved
That stranger that you looked down on
The people that you talked about
Behind their back
If only you had known what happened
You'd give them some slack
If only you could have seen
The life before you'd judge
If only you could have seen their pain
Before you held a grude
If only you had known their problems
Before you looked away
Maybe if you'd known them
You'd have better things to say
Maybe if you took the time
To see the tears that they'd cried
Before you hate the people
That the media had lied
All the people you walked past
If only you had stopped to pray
You never know happened to them
After you looked away"-August Kat
