Where were you when the world stopped turnin'/ That September day?/ Were you in the yard with your wife and children/ Or workin' on some stage in L.A.?/ Did you stand there in shock at the sight 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, they lost their dear loved ones/ 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 with pride for the red, white, and blue/ And the heroes 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?
