Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning
By: Alan Jackson
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard your wife and children working 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 in fear for your neighbor or did you just set down and cry
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones and 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 in pride for the Red, White, and Blue
The Heros who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answers
And look at yourself and what really matters
Chorus:
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 between Irag and Iran
Well 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 or driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause your a surviver, 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 happen, close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset first time in ages, speak to some strangers 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 were watching and turn on all the I Love Lucy reruns
Did you go to 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 and Thank God you had somebody to love
Chorus-X2
And the Greatest is Love, The greatest is Love
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day....
I hope this song touched you as much as it did me! ~Dolphin Princess~
