Where were you
When the world
Stopped turnin'
On that
September day?
Were you 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
That 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
With 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 for 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 lraq and lran
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 turnin'
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
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
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
Watchin'
And turn on
"I Love Lucy"
Re-runs?
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?
