Where Were You by: Alan Jackson Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day out in the yard with your wife and children or working on some stage in L A 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 rubble and sob for the ones left below did you burst out in pride for the red white and blue the heroes who died just doing what they do did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer then 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 teachin' a class full of innocent children or drivin' down some cold interstate did you feel guilty cuz 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 and hope 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 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 a 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 I'm just a singer of simple songs I'm not a real political man I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could 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 the greatest is love the greatest is love Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

AMERICA WILL

A beautiful morning, clear blue sky
Only moments before so many lost their lives
As Americans watched feeling sorrow and pain
Oh no, it cant be happening again
Two at one time how could this be
But minutes later word came there were three
Not an accident, not a fluke, but how or who
Hearts racing and sirens blazing, this isn't happening
Minds wondered where a planes next target might be
As the terror grew, not knowing what to do
We began to cry, who could hate us this way
Who are these people, what are they trying to say
A day of fear, a day of pain, a day of horror, truly insane

As the day progressed, our people met the call
Only one more plane, unfortunately had to fall
Our victims, our heroes, at peace with their fate
Practicing democracy, the American Way
Those brave passengers voted that day
To stop their flights use in a terrorist way
We will never know how many lives they saved
But through the tears, it was perfectly clear
When together we stand, we will rise above fear
They are an example of all that is good
Proof that our passion for freedom is true

So we will forever pay tribute, to so many innocent lives that were lost
Our Mothers and Fathers, Sons and Daughters
Our Brothers and Sisters, Husbands and Wives
Our friends, coworkers and peace loving strangers we never even knew
God knows your country loved you and now you will too
We will fall and scrape a knee, but then we will stand up and walk on
We will take punches and bruise, but in time they will fade
We will even die or lose someone we love, but God will be with us everyday
We will cry and we will weep, but then we will wipe our eyes
We will hurt and we will mourn and with God's help, we will live on
And although it will be difficult sometimes, with everyday we will heal
We will survive in memory of you, so rest in peace, God is with you too

America's showing its strength and pride
Uniting the peaceful world as the terrorists run and hide
America will not forget and the terrorists will learn to regret
For because of their actions that day
Our World has now found a new will and its way
Peace loving countries have pledged their support
Ending world terrorism is the only choice
We will take you out, not because we hate you
We will take you out, not because we want you to suffer
We will take you out, not because you killed innocent people
We will take you out, not for revenge
We will take you out, not to make you feel our pain
We will take you out, not to make us feel better
We are going to take you out so that you may never ever
Unleash your hatred and terror on anyone in this world again
You did not break us and you cannot break us
Because our God is love and the worlds people are good
And we are at peace in executing a plan
That finally will make our world safe again
We will never ever forget, we will pray to our Gods and
We will live in Peace and Freedom will ring, here on Earth, for the rest of our lives
