| This portion of my site is dedicated to those who lost their lives September 11, 2001. They are unsung heroes who died too soon. They will be missed even by people who don't even know who they are. GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!! And may something like this never have to happen again. |

| Many songs will live on in our hearts and memories of that terrifying day on Sept. 11; but this one will live in mine forever. This is Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)" Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? Out in the yard with your wife and children Or working on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight 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 loved ones And 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 doin' what they do? Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at yourself and what really matters? Chorus: 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 Irag 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 on that September day? Teaching a class full of innocent children Or 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 loved her? Did you dust off that Bible at home? Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened And close your eyes and not go to sleep? Did you notice a 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 the violent old movie you're watchin' 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? Repeat Chorus |
