1
Where were you
2
When the world stopped turnin'
3
On that September day?
4
Out in the yard
5
With your wife and children
6
Workin' on some stage in LA?
7
Did you stand there in shock
8
At the sight of that black smoke
9
Risin' against that blue sky?
10
Did you shout out in anger
11
And fear for your neighbor
12
Or did you just sit down and cry?
13
Did you weep for the children
14
Who lost their dear loved ones
15
Or pray for the ones who don't know?
16
Did you rejoice for the people
17
Who walked from the rubble
18
And sob for the ones left below?
19
Did you burst out in pride
20
For the red, white, and blue
21
And the heroes who died
22
Just doing what they do?
23
Did you look up to Heaven
24
For some kind of answer
25
And look at yourself
26
And what really matters?
27
I'm just a singer of simple songs
28
I'm not a real political man
29
I watch CNN but I'm not sure
30
I could tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
31
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
32
And I remember this from when I was young
33
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
34
But the greatest is love
35
Where were you
36
When the world stopped turnin'
37
On that September day?
38
Teachin' a class
39
Full of innocent children
40
Or drivin' down some cold interstate?
41
Did you feel guilty
42
'Cause you're a survivor?
43
In a crowded room, did you feel alone?
44
Did you call up your mother
45
And tell her you love her?
46
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
47
Did you open your eyes
48
Hope it never happened
49
Or close your eyes and not go to sleep?
50
Did you notice the sunset
51
The first time in ages
52
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
53
Did you lay down at night
54
And think of tomorrow
55
Go out and buy you a gun?
56
Did you turn off
57
That violent old movie you're watchin'
58
And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?
59
Did you go to the church
60
And hold hands with some stranger
61
Stand in line and give your own blood?
62
Did you just stay home
63
And cling tight to your family
64
Thank God you had somebody to love?
65
I'm just a singer of simple songs
66
I'm not a real political man
67
I watch CNN but I'm not sure
68
I could tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
69
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
70
And I remember this from when I was young
71
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
72
But the greatest is love
73
I'm just a singer of simple songs
74
I'm not a real political man
75
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
76
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
77
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
78
And I remember this from when I was young
79
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
80
But the greatest is love
81
But the greatest is love
82
But the greatest is love
83
Where were you
84
When the world stopped turnin'
85
On that September day?
