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