Where were you (Alan )

[Guest guest]

I heard this song awhile ago and I am just getting around to posting it. This is

for all who needs to remember.

This is a song by Alan and I just think alot of it.

Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day

Were you in the yard with your wife and children

Or workin' on some stage in LA

Did you stand there in shock at the site 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 in pride for the red,white and blue

And the hero's who died just doin' what they do

Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer

And look at yourself and what really matters

CHORUS

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

And I remember this from when I was young

Faith, hope and love are some good things he gave us

And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning on the September day

Teachin' 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 sis 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 open your eyes hoped it never happened

Close your eyes and not go to sleep

Did you notice the sunset for the first time in ages

Or speak to some stranger on the street

Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow

Go ot and buy you a gun

Did you turn of that violent old movie you're watchin'

And turn on I Love Lucy reruns

Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers

Stand in line and give your own blood

Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family

Thank God you had somebody to love

CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS

Where were you when the world stopped turning, that September day

This song will be coming out on CD on January 15th.

I just thought you might like to read it. If you have not heard it yet you might
