where were you when the world stopped turning lyrics

[schrorac]

God bless all veterins thank you for your sevice to the us and god help people coping with 9/11

[Tomandbillfan4ever]

i was in fourth grade and i remember having to call my mom cause we had a friend that was going on a tour of the building and we had to make sure she was ok and she was thank god

[SuperEel22]

@dethbryte518 how do u know evryone who listened to the song was Christian? You have no place criticising this song because it doesn't conform to ur ideals. Alan Jackson wrote the song to commemorate the people who lost their lives on 9/11. From the looks of your comment you need to have a look at yourself before you criticise others.

[19rachelmars]

No disrespect to the song but did anybody else notice that the eagle was crying?

[055Blondie]

The greatest is Love <3

[dmmgap]

*suddenly be opened? and the racist comments arent helping either. it has nothing to do with what "color" we put in power its that we took our eyes off of God's power and try to put it into man. we are still a nation under God and taking away the words will not take that away!

[dmmgap]

People amaze me... This song is not disrespectful and I'm sorry if you see it that way but... Song writing is a God given talent that some have.. And it's a way to show how the person feels and to get it out. And that's what most people did after 9-11. They got it all out. No this may not "change" anything but you can't say that it won't. Someone who lost people in the towers may have listened to this song to help cope. Who is to say that someone from iraq couldn't ever hear this and his eyes s

[dethbryte518]

Fuck alan jackson he can go fuck himself. Just like all of you. Exploiting the emotions of victims of a tragic event to make money is greed. Which is a sin for all you stupid Christians.

[brianbentlejewski]

Remember it like yesterday and to the five dislikes u don't belong in this country god bless america

[EpicSundae]

Why must 9-11 happen. Why don't the terrorists deal with what they have, shut up, and leave America ALONE! All we wanted was peace; NOT WAR!

[MrOhiostateboy]

@EpicSundae Because they don't want people to be happy, they want good hearted people to be in fear and terror, they are evil....

[IchigoFGT1]

For all of u who say this is disrespect its not its respectful. All thoss who thonks this is no deal well u r evil many lost there lives, n what did they do to deserve. Imma say thos every posting n readin ur comments. FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DIED IN THE TOWER OR IN THE PLANE REST IN PEACE N TO ALL THOSE WHO HELP OUT MAY GOD BLESS UR SOUL

[allisonandbailee]

[917darren]

Is there really a difference in iraq and Iran ?

[Hotstuff0938]

5 people arent Americans, Haven't lost someone close to them, Hate America, Dont appreciate all the work that American Soldiers do for our country and for you to live.

You guys suck ass and dont belong to live in this Country!

God Bless America<3

[Glinka19]

Am I the only one who finds this extremely disrespectful, if we just sing about it, what are we doing to help?

[098cav]

[MrTclaycomb]

[h7umak]

@catsrul1234 That's not from koran !

see this and search for 009.011

[jccnoble]

@h7umak that is correct, if you search you will see that's an email hoax.

[fitzdogg1979]

in the Marine Corps we left 10 days later to get some payback! ooh rah

[reb1009]

i was 2 sooo i do remember much. i was probly playing

[MrsKYEternally]

@catsrul1234

YOUR words are CORRECT 100%. In the infamous words of the Native AMERICANS, "The WHITE man is his own undoing"... No more needs to be said, White is the weakest of the COLORS, MINDS and SPIRITS!!

[idkwhou33]

@MrsKYEternally lol i agree completely and I'M white. :) i've always liked the Native Americans better.

[MrsKYEternally]

YES you are RIGHT!!! Absolutely.... Dumbing down of America started when the white man took control of a land that belonged to a HIGHER POWER!!

[TheShaguin]

it was 6 days before my b day and i was home sick and my mom was with me and she told me and she grabbed me and hugged me i will never forget that day!!!!!!!!!! I was 4 years old and yet i still remember evedry yeare we have a silence for those who died this song is so strong!!!!and so true i think the wolrd did stop turning because it was a powerful moment for all

[Puntelicas]

hey guys i can really understand you feelings but i have to say: OPEN YOUR EYES

hes just making profit of people feelings!!!!

does he still donates to the victims of 9/11 or other tragedies??

ask yourselfes.WHERE IS HE KNOW???

[nickkjonass1996]

I am a Canadian. I even cry when I hear this. I can not even imagine living in NYC during that time. I have tears coming down my face...

[rockster1802]

This is a time of weakness and only the strongest will survive these upcoming years so for those who died they may have been strong enough but that was a sucker punch to the americans

[shadowangels27]

I was so young at the time, in kindergarten. I was living in TN and I thought that b/c tn and the us had basically the same shape that TN was being attacked! it's weird. We never wanted to be considered "people who saw the twin towers collapse" we just wanted to stop crying and being scared, wanted our friends and family to be safe. wanted to think it was a bad dream. We never imagined to live through one of the most sad days in US, but we did.

[Loadedbelt]

There is no god. You all are just afraid of death. When I die, all I am is wormfood.

dumbasses

[shadowangels27]

who says I'm afraid to die? I'm not, I believe in God, I believe in an afterlife, because to DIE will be an awfully big adventure.

I'm AFRAID of HOW I DIE. Suffocation i will struggle and I'll feel my lungs burning, my eyes bulging, everything going numb. Burned, I'll feel the heat, feel my skin sizzle and pop, cry, do everything but in the end I will suffer. I would rather die painlessly in my sleep. So its how we die that I'm afraid of, not when or death itself. Thats crazy talk.

[redrumforlife]

im not going to tell you your wrong about god or that your right all i want to say is this. you must live a boring life, we go through this world day after day and some of us have faith some of us dont but the ones that have faith are lucky they have something to look forward to and im happy and proud to be one of those people the ones that don't have faith like you have nothing but they can see and feel thats all nothing else to look forward to or enjoy after you've lived a good life andthatsad

[Lugia2DarkLugia]

I looked up at god and said,'why?'

[pokemasterq]

this is why: god wanted those souls. every1 has to die. he just wanted them.

[jessieliciousness]

i was in first grade and they made us come in from reccess early and they turned on the news and i sat htere and cried my eyes out because my best friend and her mom were in the north tower when it was hit and i had just let the day before if i could i wouldnt go to school on that day but i do and i were red white and blue to show how much i care

[etejeda20]

The end of days is near..this was another signal of end of days God is coming we have to be ready..read this Zephaniah 2-15;17 profecy God bless to every one

[21jonasfan21]

that is a really cool pic i like it

[brianwhitt96]

That a very sad day

[gemsioisnuberonecat]

i rember the day so clear even though i was a kingergarden i had just gotten back from a doctor's appontiment inf folrdia i had a barny cast cover on. an anouncemnt came over the intercom for a moment of silence and to go into lockdown mode. they didnt tell us our parents did and i was scared for my daddy because i didnt know if he was going to new york to help.

[zagoorym]

every one even now in seventh grade ask me why on 9/11 i dont go to school instead every year im in newyork the all ask me why do i havbe a firefighter medalion on my gold chain and i say to them its my sign of showing tht i care and that not every one has a father and brother anymore and this is what i tell everybody " i loved my dads and brothers we didnt always get along but i miss them now and wish we had more time together"

[zagoorym]

when u think bout it we all love america i remeber 9/11/2001 not very well i was only in kindergarden and i remember i lived in florida at the time but i remember the school on lock down i was older then most kids so i was helpin and i remember watching the president come on tv and say that we were under attacks i was cryin that day i lost half my family :( i lost my uncle my dad stepdad and i lost 3 brothers it was very sad that dat but the funeral was the worst part i didnt stop cryin and ever

[emochick3625]

I'm so sorry about that. I'm not sure how old I was, I can't even remember it. But, I can't stand to watch anyting about 9 11

[TheAtomic1234321]

OMG Im so sorry. My thoughts are with you.

[shadowangels27]

I'm sorry but thats not helping. it doesn't bring them back. i wish we were never attacked. stupid talibon.... =( a movie about it Tiger Cruise, they don't show anymore. They don't mention it and its an insult to those who died, WE SHOULD SCREAM IT, TELL WHAT HAPPENED! We shall be strong and we will defeat the talibon, no we're not weak, we're americans. Stupid and crazy- yes, weak- no. Those who died weren't going "yeah I did that..." they thought "Is this the right thing to do?"

[skidmore88]

I love the song

[crabsbarc]

When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross  -Sinclair Lewis

[Iluv302]

a lot of the people i know are firefighters and cops. when i was old enough to actually understand why the terrorists wanted to attack us i said "well ill go beat the up cause america is my home and i dont want it to be ruined for everything we worked for.

[MusicIsBelieving360]

I don't remember everything from 9/11.. But I do remember my Kindergarten teacher shutting the blinds locking the door and turning off the lights and asking for silence. then a few years ago i visited the Memorial of the twin towers.. I wish I could've seen them before they were gone.

[SuperRedrocks]

yeah i remember my kindergarden teacher doing the same thing

[Zackuchiha12]

dont make fun of me but what year did this happen.......because i was too young to remember the year......

[cheesedude42]

2001

[Iluv302]

i was only four years old and i was crying me eyes out. that nioght i had a nightmare about my parents dying in the collapsing because they are and always will be firefighters. i remember the faces of all the firefighters and cops in my town and this song still makes me cry when i hear it.

im going to become a cop and firefighter in rememberance for all the ones who died

[Iluv302]

omg this is soo sad why would somebody really want to terroize the USA???

but i love the graphics

[em0l0v3r1]

God bless America

[nyzanny]

I was a baby at the time.When I first heard this song it made me realize that it happened in Washington D.C..When my mom told me they were going after big cities like L.A. and Chicago I didn't beleave her.I knew they would still try to go to places like the Nickalodean hotel and Universal.I'm hoping that the army deveates them soon.

[moottie]

;( i was only 4 when they blew dang i woulda loved to see the twin towers ;( ;( ;(

[jspitsoccer]

[x872ax]

I just dropped out of Pre-K the week before and was helping my mom vacuum the t.v. room. The t.v. showed a plane flying into a building and then another one fly into the one beside it. My mom turned off the vacuum, I won't forget the look on her face,

[hothjoke]

fml =[

[Leadthruexample]

4th grade at the time and really had no idea what was going on, couple teachers had rushed into the class room to tell my teacher and thats all i remember that day. I was told in more detail about what had happened but it didn't seem to register in my mind at the time.

[countryman39401]

im thankful for the passengers of flight 93 who fought back

[DragonOfYaoi]

I was in kindergarten and all i remember is seeing a big plane fly right over us and all of a sudden all the teachers told us to get in and i didnt know why one little plane could cause so much sorrow when i was younger but now i realize that those brave people who died in those towers and the pentagon were heroes and every year i thank god that those heroes are resting with the worlds greatest protector!

Thank you for everything you guys do just to protect strangers lives! Rest in Peace! <3

[poketpeople]

[Annanova99]

I was in kidnergarden and my teacher had the radio on. I herd what happened but i was so young i didnt understand, i thought it hit my school. But when we went home i realized what had happened, and was afraid becouse i thought i would get hit next. I didnt think any one was hurt but when i realized how many ppl died i was shocked, i still am, but its even worst when you relize that in other countries this kind of thing happens yearly.

[Bloom1219]

I remeber waking up in my parents bed and saw them all standing around the TV in the room. I hated it when my brother keept wanting to watch the towers fall over and over again. I was so scared for years I had nightmares about that day.

[carliedawg07]

i love this song, i remeber i was in first grade and i walked in my mom's room i remeber seeing her crying. and i look at the tv seeing the replay of the plane crashing into the towers. rip for all the ones who lost their lives on 9.11.01 <3
