| Where were you when the world stopped turning on that september day Out in the yard with your wife and your children Working on some stage in LA Did you stand there in shock at the site of The black smoke rising against the 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 loved ones and pray for those who don't know Did you rejoice fpr 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 The heroes who died just doing what they do Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself to what really matters I'm Just a singer of simple songs I'mnot a real political man I watch CNN but im not sure I can tell you The difference in Iraq and Iran But I know Jesus and I talk to God I remember this from when I was young Faith hope and love are some good things He gave us But the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day Teaching a class full of innocent children Driving down some cold interstate Do you feel guilty cause you're a survivor In a crowded room do 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 happpened Close your eyes and not go to sleep Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages Speak with some stranger on the street Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow Go out and buy a gun Did you turn off tht violent movie you're watching And turn on "I love lucy" reruns Did you go to church and hold hand with strangers Stand in line to give your own blood Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family Thank God you had somebody to lover 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 I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but i'm not Real 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 youn Faith hope and lover are some good things he gave us And the greatest is love The greatest is love The greatest is love Song by : Alan Jackson |
