Where were you when the world stopped turingthat September day,Out in the yard your wife and childrenOr workin on some stage in LADid you stand there in shockAt the sight of that black smoke risin' against that blue skyDid you shout out in anger and fear for your neighborOr did you just sit down and cryDid you weep for the children who lost their dearloved onesAnd pray for the ones who dont knowDid you rejoice for the people who walked from therubbleAnd sob for the ones left belowDid you burst out in pride for the red, white andblueAnd the heros who died just doing what they doDid you look up to heaven for some kind of answerAnd look at yourself and what really matters(Chorus)I´m just a singer of simple songsI´m not a real political manI watch CNN but im not sure i can tell youThe difference in Iraq and Iran, butI know Jesus and i talk to godAnd i remember this from when i was youngFaith, hope and love are some good things he gave usAnd the greatest is loveWhere were you when the world stopped turingOn that September dayTeachin' a class full of innocent childrenOr diving dow some cold interstateDid you feel guilty cuz you're a survivorIn a crowded room did you feel aloneDid you call up your mother and tell her you love herDid you dust off that bible at homeDid you open your eyes and hope it never happenedColse your eyes and not go to sleepDid you notice the sunset for the first time in agesOr speak to some strager on the streetDid you lay down at night and think of tomorrowGo out an buy you a gunDid you turn off that violent old movie you'rewatchin'And turn on 'I Love Lucy' re-runsDid you go to church and hold hands with somestangersAnd stand in line and give your own bloodDid you just stay home and cling tight to your familyThank god you had somebody to love(Chorus)(Chorus)
