1
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
2
Were you in the yard with you wife and
3
Children or working on some stage in LA
4
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
5
Rising against that blue sky
6
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
7
Or did you just sit down and cry
8
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
9
And pray for the ones who don't know
10
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
11
And sob for the ones left below
12
Did you burst out with pride for the red white and blue
13
The heroes who died just doing what they do
14
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
15
And look at yourself and what really matters
16
[Chorus]
17
I'm just a singer of simple songs
18
I'm not a real political man
19
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
20
The difference in Iraq and Iran
21
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
22
And I remember this from when I was young
23
Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us
24
But the greatest is love
25
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day
26
Teaching a class full of innocent children
27
Or driving down some cold interstate
28
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
29
In a crowded room did you feel alone
30
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
31
Did you dust off that bible at home
32
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
33
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
34
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
35
Speak with some stranger on the street
36
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
37
Go out and buy you a gun
38
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
39
And turn on "I Love Lucy" re-runs
40
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
41
Stand in line and give your own blood
42
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
43
Thank God you had somebody to love
44
[Chorus: x2]
45
But the greatest is love
46
But the greatest is love
47
Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day?
