Where were you when the world stopped turning that September Day
Out in the yard with your wife and children, working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of that black smoke Rising against
that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor, or did you just sit
down and cry
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear love ones or pray for the
ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble and sob for the
ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the Red White and Blue
And the heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to Heaven for some kind of answer and look at yourself and
what really matters
I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and
Iran
But I know Jesus, and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was
young
Faith, hope and Love are some good things he gave us, and the greatest is
Love
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children, Or driving down some cold
interstate
Did you feel guilty cuz 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 happened, close your eyes and not
go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset, first time in ages and speak to some strangers on
the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow, go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie your watching and turn on I Love
Lucy reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers,
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family thank god you had
somebody to love
I'm just a singer of simple songs; I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN, but I'm not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and
Iran
But I know Jesus, and I talk to God And I remember this from when I was
young

Love
and the greatest is Love, and the greatest is Love
