Where Were You (When The World JacksonStopped Turning)-Alan

Where were you when the world stopped turning

That September day?

Out in the yard

With your wife and children

Workin' on some stage in LA?

Did you stand there in shock

At the sight of that black smoke

Rising against that blue sky?

Did you shout out in anger

And fear for your neighbor

Or did you just sit down and cry?

Did you weep for the children

Who lost their dear loved ones

Or pray for the ones who don't know?

Did you rejoice for the people

Who walked from the rubbel

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 doing 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 could

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 turning

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 love her

Did you dust off that Bible at home?

Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened

Or 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 watching

And turn on I Love Lucy reruns?

Did you go to the church and hold hands with some stranger

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

I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could

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

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 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

And the greatest is love

And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning

That September day
