stopped turning on that September day?
Were you in the yard with
Or working on some stage in L.A.?
Did you stand there in shock at the
sight of that black smoke
Risin' 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,
And the heroes who died just
Did you look up to heaven
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 dif ference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
Faith, hope and love are some
Where were you when the world stopped
turning on that September day?
Were you teaching a class full
Or driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guilty 'cause
In a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother
and tell her you loved her?
Did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you notice the sunset
Or speak to some stranger on the street?
Did you lay down at night
Or go out and buy you a gun?
Did you turn off that violent old
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns?
Did you go to a church and hold
hands with some strangers
Did you stand in line and
Did you just stay home and
cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love?
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 dif ference in Iraq an d Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
Faith, hope and love are some good
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
Faith, hope and love are some good
