Where were you when the world stopped turning that september day<br>Out in the yard with your wife and children<br>Or working on some stage in l.a.<br>Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke<br>Rising against that blue sky<br>Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor<br>Or did you just sit down and cry<br><br>Did you weep for the children who lost there dear loved ones<br>And pray for the ones who don't know<br>Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble<br>And sob for the ones left below<br>Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue<br>And the heros who died just doin' what they do<br>Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer<br>And look at yourself and what really matters<br><br>I'm just a singer of simple songs<br>I'm not a real political man<br>I watch cnn but I'm not sure I can tell you<br>The difference in iraq and iran<br>But I know jesus, and I talk to god<br>And I remember this from when I was young.<br>Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us<br>And the greatest is love.<br><br>Where were you when the world stopped turning that september day<br>Teaching a class full of innocent children<br>Or driving down some cold interstate<br>Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor<br>In a crowded room did you feel alone? <br>Did you call up your mother to tell her you love her<br>Did you dust off that Bible at home<br>Did you open your eyes in hope it never happened<br>Close your eyes and not go to sleep<br>Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages<br>Speak to some stranger on the street<br>Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow<br>Go out and buy you a gun<br>Did you turn off that violent home movie your watchin<br>And turn on I love lucy reruns<br>Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers<br>Or stand in line and give your own blood<br>Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family<br>And thank God you had somebody to love<br><br>(chorus x2)<br><br>And the greatest is love.<br>And the greatest is love.<br>Where were you when the world stopped turning that september day
