D
Where were you when the world stopped turning that  Sept Day?
G                                   C                  G
D
Out in the yard with your wife and children,  working on some stage in LA
G                                   	C                  
Did you stand there in shock at site of that black  smoke
G                     D

Rising against that blue sky

G                                   C                  G
D
Did you shout out in anger fear for your neighbor,  Or did you just sit down
and cry

æ
G                                                             C
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear love ones
G                                      D
or pray for the ones who don't know
            G                                          C
G                                  D
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rumble and sob for the
ones left below
          G                                              C
Did you burst out in pride for the Red White and  Blue
    G                                                       D 
And the heroes who died just doing what they  do
    G                                                        C           G
D
Did you look up to Heaven for some kind of answer  or look to yourself for
what really matters


G                           C                     G
D
I'm just a singer of simple songs, I'm not a  real political man
G                           C                                G
D
I watch CNN, but I not sure I can tell you, the difference in Iraq and Iran

G                                   C
Buy I know Jesus, and I talk to God

G                                           D
And I remember this from when I was young
G                                   C                                      G
D
Faith hope and Love are some good things he gave us, and the greatest is
Love


G                                   C                    G
D
Where were you when the world stopped turning that  Sept Day
G                                   C                             G
D
Teaching a class full of innocent children, Or driving down some cold
interstate
G                                   C                                 G
D
Did you feel guilty cuz you're a survivor, In a crowded room did you feel
alone
G                                   C                                      
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love  her
G                                      D      
Did you dust off that bible at home


G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you open your eyes hope it never happened and close your eyes and not go
to sleep
G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you notice the sunset, first time in ages and speak to some strangers on
the street
G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you lie down at night and think of tomorrow and go out and buy you a gun
G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you turn off that violent old movie your watching and turn on I Love
Lucy reruns
G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you go to a church and hold with some strangers, Stand in line and give
your own blood
G                                   C                                      G
D
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family, Thank God you had
somebody to love
