Текст песни Alan Jackson Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning

Where were you when the world stopped turning,
that September day?
Out in the yard,
with your wife and children,
workin' on some stage in LA?
Did you stand there in shock
at the sight of that black smoke,
rising against that blue sky?
Did you shout out in anger
and fear for your neighbor,
or did you just sit down and cry?
Did you weep for the children
who lost their dear loved ones,
or pray for the ones who don't know?
Did you rejoice for the people
who walked from the rubbel,
and sob for the ones left below?
Did you burst out in pride
for the red, white, and blue,
and the heroes who died
just doing what they do?
Did you look up to Heaven
for some kind of answer,
and look at yourself
and what really matters?

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've talked 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
that September day?
Teaching a class full of innocent children,
driving down some cold interstate?
Did you feel guiltyAlan Jackson - Alan Jackson Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning - http://ru.motolyrics.com/alan-jackson/alan-jackson-where-were-you-when-the-world-stopped-turning-lyrics.html
cause you're a survivor,
in a crowded room did you feel alone?
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her,
did you dust off that Bible at home?
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened,
or close your eyes and not go to sleep?
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages,
or 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?
Did you go to the church and hold hands with some stranger,
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?

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've talked 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.
