Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?
were you in the yard with you wife and your children or 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 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 with 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 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 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
or 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 and hope it never happened
close your eyes and not go to sleep
did you notice the sunset 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" re-runs
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 to your family
thank God you had somebody to love

(Chorus x2)
The greatest is Love
The greatest is Love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day?

Review about Where Were You

Wow | Reviewer: Chris | 2/25/10

How heroic of him to profit of of the exploitation of those poor victims of the tragedy. Don't know the difference between Iraq or Iran? Well maybe you should do little more research before you write a song about it. This is the perfect exzample of blind patriotism. What a horrible piece of propaganda.

sad | Reviewer: Teresa | 9/14/07

I had gotten a pen pal in newyork in fifth grade and she died in 9-11. I am now in the 9th grade and this issue still hurts me greatly. I am planing to get married and dance to this song then go an avenge her death by serving my country.
