[00:13.200] Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
[00:20.820] Were you in the yard with your wife and children
[00:25.320] Or working on some stage in L.A.
[00:28.890] Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
[00:33.760] Rising against that blue sky
[00:36.960] Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
[00:41.590] Or did you just sit down and cry
[00:47.590] Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
[00:52.280] And pray for the ones who don't know
[00:55.650] Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
[01:00.280] And sob for the ones left below
[01:03.960] Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
[01:08.400] And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
[01:12.650] Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
[01:16.710] And look at yourself and what really matters
[01:23.460] I'm just a singer of simple songs
[01:26.840] I'm not a real political man
[01:30.840] I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
[01:35.340] Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
[01:39.840] But I know Jesus and I talk to God
[01:43.460] And I remember this from when I was young
[01:47.400] Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
[01:53.400] And the greatest is love
[01:59.210] Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
[02:07.020] Teaching a class full of innocent children
[02:10.830] Or driving down some cold interstate
[02:14.770] Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
[02:19.150] In a crowded room did you feel alone
[02:23.150] Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
[02:27.900] Did you dust off that Bible at home
[02:33.520] Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
[02:37.960] And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
[02:41.650] Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
[02:46.270] Or speak to some stranger on the street
[02:49.900] Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
[02:54.520] Go out and buy you a gun
[02:58.210] Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
[03:01.900] And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
[03:06.580] Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
[03:11.340] Stand in line and give your own blood
[03:14.900] Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
[03:19.400] Thank God you had somebody to love
[03:25.270] I'm just a singer of simple songs
[03:29.840] I'm not a real political man
[03:33.460] I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
[03:38.270] Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
[03:42.400] But I know Jesus and I talk to God
[03:46.270] And I remember this from when I was young
[03:50.710] Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
[03:54.900] And the greatest is love
[03:59.400] I'm just a singer of simple songs
[04:02.650] I'm not a real political man
[04:06.960] I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
[04:11.270] Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
[04:15.580] But I know Jesus and I talk to God
[04:19.270] And I remember this from when I was young
[04:23.900] Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
[04:28.650] And the greatest is love
[04:33.080] And the greatest is love
[04:37.210] And the greatest is love
[04:42.890] Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
