[00:13.07]Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
[00:20.59]Were you in the yard with your wife and children
[00:25.73]Or working on some stage in L.A.
[00:29.50]Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
[00:33.91]Rising against that blue sky
[00:37.86]Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
[00:42.14]Or did you just sit down and cry
[00:48.31]Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
[00:52.80]And pray for the ones who don't know
[00:56.43]Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
[01:00.57]And sob for the ones left below
[01:05.08]Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
[01:08.66]And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
[01:13.21]Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
[01:17.30]And look at yourself and what really matters
[01:24.65]I'm just a singer of simple songs
[01:27.37]I'm not a real political man
[01:32.89]I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
[01:36.29]Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
[01:40.47]But I know Jesus and I talk to God
[01:44.74]And I remember this from when I was young
[01:48.83]Faith, hope and love are some good things
[01:53.09]He gave us
[01:55.29]And the greatest is love
[02:00.72]Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
[02:07.61]Teaching a class full of innocent children
[02:11.49]Or driving down some cold interstate
[02:15.68]Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
[02:19.07]In a crowded room did you feel alone
[02:23.62]Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
[02:28.49]Did you dust off that bible at home
[02:34.44]Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
[02:37.52]And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
[02:42.47]Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
[02:46.37]Or speak to some stranger on the street
[02:50.83]Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
[02:54.37]Go out and buy you a gun
[02:59.22]Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin'
[03:03.13]And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
[03:07.49]Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
[03:12.04]Stand in line and give your own blood
[03:15.58]Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
[03:19.86]Thank God you had somebody to love
[03:26.31]I'm just a singer of simple songs
[03:30.49]I'm not a real political man
[03:34.72]I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
