    Where were you when the world stopped turning,

    On that September day?
     C                      Csus4
Were you in the Yard with your wife and children,
   G                          C
Or working on some stage in L.A?
        F
Did you stand there in shock
       C
At the sight of that black smoke
F                        C
Rising against that blue sky?
         F
Did you shout out in anger
   C
In fear for your neighbor,
   Am                        F        G
Or did you just sit down and cry?


        C
Did you weep for the children, they lost their dear loved ones,
    G                           C
And pray for the ones who don't know?
          C
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
    G                       C
And sob for the ones left below?
        F
Did you burst out with pride
         C
For the Red, White, and Blue
        F
And the heroes who died
      C
just doing what they do?
        F                     C
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer,
    Am                    F                     G
And look at your self and what really matters?

The difference in Iraq and Iran.
    F                C
But I know Jesus and I talk to God

And I remember this from when I was young

    And the greatest is love.
