Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of that black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger in fear for your neighbor
or did you just sit down and cry
Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue
or did you just sit down and cryDid 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 out from the rubble and sob for the ones left below
Did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer and look at yourself to 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 can 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 dayTeaching a class full of innocent children
driving down some cold interstate
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
Did you dust off that Bible at home
driving down some cold interstateDid you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
Iin 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 homeDid you open your eyes and hope it never happened, close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
Speak with 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 a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight with your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

But I know Jesus and I talk to God and I remember this from when I was young

And the greatest is Love. And the greatest is Love. And the greatest is Love.

**I will always remember this day eight years ago. I may post something later tonight with a youtube video.
**Also, this is the lyrics to the song "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?" by Alan Jackson.
God Bless America!

I will always remember where I was. I was in Biology class and we were done for the day and I was talking to my classmate, Brad. Another teacher came in and told us we needed to dismiss and go to second period. My second period was Civics and instead of lecturing we watched all CNN.
