Enrique Iglesias Where Were You (when The World Stopped Turning) Lyrics

Where Were You (when The World Stopped Turning) Lyrics

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

Out in
the yard with your wife and children

Working on some stage in LA

Did
you stand there in shock at the site of that black smoke 

Rising 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

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 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 that
September day

Teaching a class full of innocent children

Driving
down some cold interstate

Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor

In a crowded room did 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 and hope it never happened

Close your eyes and
not go to sleep

Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages

Speak with 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 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



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



The greatest is
love

The greatest is love



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