Alan Jackson - Where Were You Lyrics
where were you when the world stopped turning that september dayOut in the yard with your wife and childrenOr working on some stage in l.a.Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smokeRising against that blue skyDid you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighborOr did you just sit down and cryDid you weep for the children who lost there dear loved onesAnd pray for the ones who don't knowDid you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubbleAnd sob for the ones left belowDid you burst out in pride for the red, white and blueAnd the heros who died just doin' what they doDid you look up to heaven for some kind of answerAnd look at yourself and what really mattersI’m just a singer of simple songsI’m not a real political manI watch cnn but i’m not sure i can tell youThe difference in iraq and iranBut i know jesus, and i talk to godAnd i remember this from when i was young.Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave usAnd the greatest is love.Where were you when the world stopped turning that september dayTeaching a class full of innocent childrenOr driving down some cold interstateDid you feel guilty cause you’re a survivorIn a crowded room did you feel alone?Did you call up your mother to tell her you love herDid you dust off that bible at homeDid you open your eyes in hope it never happenedClose your eyes and not go to sleepDid you notice the sunset for the first time in agesSpeak to some stranger on the streetDid you lay down at night and think of tomorrowGo out and buy you a gunDid you turn off that violent home movie your watchinAnd turn on i love lucy rerunsDid you go to a church and hold hands with some strangersOr stand in line and give your own bloodDid you just stay home and cling tight to your familyAnd thank god you had somebody to love(chorus x2)And the greatest is love.And the greatest is love.Where were you when the world stopped turning that september day
