Where were you when the world stopped turningOn that September day?Out in the yard with your wife and childrenOr working on some stage in L.A.?Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smokeRising against that blue sky?Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighborOr did you just sit down and cry?Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved onesAnd pray for the ones who don't know?Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubbleAnd sob for the ones left below?Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blueAnd the heroes who died just doin' what they do?Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answerAnd look at yourself and what really matters?I'm just a singer of simple songsI'm not a real political manI watch CNN but I'm not sure I couldTell you the difference in Iraq and IranBut I 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 turningOn that September day?Teaching a class full of innocent childrenOr driving down some cold interstate?Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivorIn a crowded room did you feel alone?Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her?Did you dust off that bible at home?Did you open your eyes, hope it never happenedAnd you close your eyes and not go to sleep?Did you notice the sunset the first time in agesOr speak to some stranger on the street?Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrowGo out and buy you a gun?Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangersStand in line and give your own blood?Did you just stay home and cling tight to your familyThank God you had somebody to love?I'm just a singer of simple songsI'm not a real political manI watch CNN but I'm not sure I couldTell you the difference in Iraq and IranBut I 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 love
