Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) |
| Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? |
| Were you in the yard with your wife and children |
| Or working on some stage in L.A. |
| Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke |
| Risin' against that blue sky? |
| Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor |
| Or did you just sit down and cry? |
| Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones |
| And pray for the ones who don’t know? |
| Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble |
| And sob for the ones left below? |
| Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue |
| And the heroes who died just doin' what they do? |
| Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer |
| And look at yourself and what really matters? |
| Chorus: |
| I’m just a singer of simple songs |
| I’m not a real political man |
| I watch CNN but I’m not sure I can tell |
| you the difference in Iraq and Iran |
| But I know Jesus and I talk to God |
| And I remember this from when I was young |
| Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us And the greatest is love |
| Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? |
| Were you teaching a class full of innocent children |
| Or driving down some cold interstate? |
| Did you feel guilty 'cause you’re a survivor |
| In a crowded room did you feel alone? |
| Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her? |
| Did you dust off that Bible at home? |
| Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened |
| Close your eyes and not go to sleep? |
| Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages |
| Or speak to some stranger on the street? |
| Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow |
| Or go out and buy you a gun? |
| Did you turn off that violent old movie you’re watchin' |
| And turn on «I Love Lucy"reruns? |
| Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers |
| Did you stand in line and give your own blood? |
| Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family |
| Thank God you had somebody to love? |
| Repeat Chorus 2x |
| And the greatest is love. |
| And the greatest is love. |
| Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day? |
