- Where were you when the world stopped turnin'That September day?Were you in the yard with your wife and childrenOr workin' on some stage in L.A.?Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smokeRisin' 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, they lost their dear loved onesPray 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 with 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 can tell youThe diff'rence 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 turnin'That September day?Teachin' a class full of innocent childrenOr drivin' down some cold interstate?Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor?In a crowded room did you feel alone?Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?Did you dust off that Bible at home?Did you open your eyes and hope it never happenedClose your eyes and not go to sleep?Did you notice the sunset for the first time in agesAnd 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 to 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 can tell youThe diff'rence 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 loveI'm just a singer of simple songsI'm not a real political manI watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell youThe diff'rence 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 loveAnd the greatest is loveAnd the greatest is loveWhere were you when the world stopped turnin'On that September day?
