Verse:
C Where were you when the world stopped turning,
G On that September Cday?
Were Cyou in the Yard with your wife and children,
Or Gworking on some stage in L.CA?
Did you Fstand there in shock
At the Csight of that black smoke
FRising against that blue Csky?
Did you sFhout out in anger
In Cfear for your neighbor,
Or Amdid you just sit down and Fcry? G
Did you Cweep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones,
And Gpray for the ones who don't Cknow?
Did you reCjoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And Gsob for the ones left beClow?
Did you Fburst out with pride
For the RCed, White, and Blue
And the Fheroes who died
just dCoing what they do?
Did you Flook up to heaven for Csome kind of answer,
And Amlook at your self and Fwhat really matters? G
Chorus:
FI'm just a singer of Csimple songs I'm not a
FReal political Cman
I watch FCNN, But I'm Cnot sure I can tell you
The Amdifference in Iraq and IFran.
But FI know Jesus and CI talk to God
And I reFmember this from when I was Cyoung
FFaith, Hope and Love, are some Cgood things he gave us
G And the greatest is Flove. G
Verse 2:
C Where were you when the world stopped turning
G On that September Cday?
CTeaching a class full of innocent children
Or Gdriving down some cold interCstate?
Did Fyou feel guilty cause Cyou're a survivor
In a Fcrowded room did you feel Calone?
Did you Fcall up your mother
And Ctell you loved her?
Did you Amdust off that Bible at Fhome? G
Did you Copen you eyes and hope it never happened
GClose your eyes and not go to Csleep?
Did you Cnotice the sunset for the first time in ages
And Gspeak to some stranger on the Cstreet?
Did you Flay down at night and Cthink of tomorrow?
FGo out and buy you a Cgun?
Did you Fturn off that violent old Cmovie you're watching
And Amturn on I Love Lucy reFruns?
Bridge:
Did you gFo to a church and hold Chands with some strangers
FStand inline and give your own Cblood?
Did you Fjust stay home
And cling Ctight to your family,
Thank AmGod you had somebody to Flove?
Chorus x2:
FI'm just a singer of Csimple songs I'm not a
FReal political Cman
I watch FCNN, But I'm Cnot sure I can tell you
The Amdifference in Iraq and IFran.
But FI know Jesus and CI talk to God
And I reFmember this from when I was Cyoung
FFaith, Hope and Love, are some Cgood things he gave us
G And the greatest is Flove.
FI'm just a singer of Csimple songs I'm not a
FReal political Cman
I watch FCNN, But I'm Cnot sure I can tell you
The Amdifference in Iraq and IFran.
But FI know Jesus and CI talk to God
And I reFmember this from when I was Cyoung
FFaith, Hope and Love, are some Cgood things he gave us
G And the greatest is Flove.
And the Ggreatest is FLove
And the Ggreatest is FLove
C Where were you when the world stopped turning, G
On that September daCy?
