[Verse] CGC Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day C Were you in the yard with your wife and children GC Or working on some stage in L.A. FC Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke FC Rising against that blue sky FC Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor AmF Or did you just sit down and cry
C Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones GC And pray for the ones who don't know C Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble GC And sob for the ones left below FC Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue FC And the heroes who died just doin' what they do FC Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer AmF And look at yourself and what really matters
[Chorus] FC I'm just a singer of simple songs FC I'm not a real political man FC I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could AmF Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran FC But I know Jesus and I talk to God FC And I remember this from when I was young FC Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us AmF And the greatest is love
[Verse] CGC Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day C Teaching a class full of innocent children GC Or driving down some cold interstate FC Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor FC In a crowded room did you feel alone FC Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her AmF Did you dust off that bible at home
C Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened GC And you close your eyes and not go to sleep C Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages GC Or speak to some stranger on the street FC Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow FC Go out and buy you a gun FC Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watchin' AmF And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
FC Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers FC Stand in line and give your own blood FC Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family AmF Thank God you had somebody to love
[Chorus] AmF And the greatest is love 3X CGC Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day-----
