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 L.A.?
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, in fear for your neighbor?
8
Or did you just sit down and cry?
9
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
10
And 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 doing 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 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
And the greatest is love
25
Where were you when the world stopped turning
26
On that September day?
27
Teaching a class full of innocent children
28
Or driving 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 loved her?
32
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
33
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
34
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
35
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
36
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 home movie you're watching
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 and 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 difference 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 difference 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 and the greatest is love
61
And the greatest is love
62
Where were you when the world stopped turning
63
On that September day?
