Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)
Where were you when the world stopped turning
- Where were you when the world stopped turning
- That September day
- Out in the yard
- With your wife and children
- Workin' on some stage in LA
- Did you stand there in shock
- At the sight of that black smoke
- Rising against that blue sky
- Did you shout out in anger
- And fear for your neighbor
- Or did you just sit down and cry
- Did you weep for the children
- Who lost their dear loved 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 could
- 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
- Driving 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 hope it never happened
- Or close your eyes and not go to sleep
- Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
- Or speak to some stranger 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 you're watching
- And turn on I Love Lucy reruns
- Did you go to the church and hold hands with some stranger
- 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 could
- 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
- I'm just a singer of simple songs
- I'm not a real political man
- I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
- 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
- The greatest is love
- The greatest is love
- The greatest is love
- Where were you when the world stopped turning
- That September day
