1
Where were you when the world stopped turning
2
On that September day?
3
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
4
Or working on some stage in LA?
5
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of
6
That black smoke rising against that blue sky?
7
Did you shout out in anger
8
In fear for your neighbor?
9
Or did you just sit down and cry?
10
Did you weep for the children
11
Who lost their dear loved ones
12
And pray for the ones who don't know?
13
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
14
And sob for the ones left below?
15
Did you burst out with pride
16
For the red white and blue
17
And the heroes who died just doing what they do?
18
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
19
And look at yourself and what really matters
20
I'm just a singer of simple songs
21
I'm not a real political man
22
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
23
The difference in Iraq and Iran
24
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
25
And I remember this from when I was young
26
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
27
And the greatest is love
28
Where were you when the world stopped turning
29
On that September day?
30
Teaching a class full of innocent children?
31
Or driving down some cold interstate?
32
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor?
33
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
34
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?
35
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
36
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
37
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
38
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
39
Speak with some stranger on the street?
40
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
41
Go out and buy you a gun?
42
Did you turn off that violent home movie you're watching
43
And turn on, "I Love Lucy" reruns?
44
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
45
Stand in line and give your own blood?
46
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family?
47
Thank God you had somebody to love
48
I'm just a singer of simple songs
49
I'm not a real political man
50
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
51
The difference in Iraq and Iran
52
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
53
And I remember this from when I was young
54
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
55
And the greatest is Love
56
I'm just a singer of simple songs
57
I'm not a real political man
58
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
59
The difference in Iraq and Iran
60
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
61
And I remember this from when I was young
62
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
63
And the greatest is love
64
And the greatest is love
65
And the greatest is love
66
Where were you when the world stopped turning
67
On that September day?
