Where were you when the world stopped turnin' on that September day
Were you in the yard with
your wife and children
Or workin' on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock
at the sight of that black smoke
Risin' 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, they 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 with pride for the red, white and blue
For 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
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

Where were you when the world stopped turnin' on that September day
Teachin' a
class full of innocent children
Or drivin' 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 and hoped it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did
you notice the sunset the first time in ages
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" reruns
Did
you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Or 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
