Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) LRC歌词

[00:13.20]Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day

[00:20.82]Were you in the yard with your wife and children

[00:25.32]Or working on some stage in L.A.

[00:28.89]Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke

[00:33.76]Rising against that blue sky

[00:35.75]

[00:36.96]Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor

[00:41.59]Or did you just sit down and cry

[00:46.95]

[00:47.59]Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones

[00:52.28]And pray for the ones who don't know

[00:55.65]Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble

[01:00.28]And sob for the ones left below

[01:03.96]Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue

[01:08.40]And the heroes who died just doin' what they do

[01:12.65]Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

[01:16.71]And look at yourself and what really matters

[01:21.20]

[01:23.46]I'm just a singer of simple songs

[01:26.84]I'm not a real political man

[01:30.84]I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could

[01:35.34]Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran

[01:39.84]But I know Jesus and I talk to God

[01:43.46]And I remember this from when I was young

[01:47.40]Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us

[01:53.40]And the greatest is love

[01:56.32]

[01:59.21]Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day

[02:06.26]

[02:07.02]Teaching a class full of innocent children

[02:10.83]Or driving down some cold interstate

[02:14.77]Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor

[02:19.15]In a crowded room did you feel alone

[02:23.15]Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her

[02:27.90]Did you dust off that Bible at home

[02:31.07]

[02:33.52]Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened

[02:37.96]And you close your eyes and not go to sleep

[02:41.65]Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages

[02:46.27]Or speak to some stranger on the street

[02:49.90]Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow

[02:54.52]Go out and buy you a gun

[02:57.51]

[02:58.21]Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching

[03:01.90]And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns

[03:06.07]

[03:06.58]Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers

[03:11.34]Stand in line and give your own blood

[03:14.90]Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family

[03:19.40]Thank God you had somebody to love

[03:22.32]

[03:25.27]I'm just a singer of simple songs

[03:29.84]I'm not a real political man

[03:33.46]I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could

[03:38.27]Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran

[03:42.40]But I know Jesus and I talk to God

[03:46.27]And I remember this from when I was young

[03:49.95]

[03:50.71]Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us

[03:54.90]And the greatest is love
