Verse:
CWhere were you when the world stopped turning,
On that September day?
COut in the Yard with your wife and children,
G COr working on some stage in L.A.
Did you stand there in shock
CAt the site of that black smoke
F CRising up against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
CIn fear for your neighbor,
Am F GOr did you just sit down and cry?
C
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones,
And pray for the ones who don’t know?
CDid you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
G CAnd sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride
CFor the Red, White, and Blue
FAnd the hero’s who died
just doing what they do,
F CDid you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
Am FAnd look at your self and what really matters?
ChorusF
I’m just a singer of
Csimple songs I’m not a
Real political man
F CI watch CNN, But I’m not sure I can tell you
Am FThe difference in Iraq and Iran.
But I know Jesus
CAnd I talk to God
F CAnd I remember this from when I was young
Faith, Hope and Love, are some good things he gave us
G F GBut the greatest is love.
Verse
Where were you when the world stopped turning
On 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 do you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother
And tell you love her,
Or did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open you eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages
And speak to 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 reruns?
Bridge (sorta)
F CDid you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
Stand inline to give your own blood?
FDid you just stay home
CAnd cling tight to your family,
Thank God you have somebody to love.
G F
And the greatest is Love
G FAnd the greatest is Love
And the greatest is love
