歌词
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
你在何处，于九月的那一天，世界停止转动的那个日子里？
Were you in the yard with your wife and children
是否在花园里和你的妻儿消磨时光
Or working on some stage in L.A.
还是在洛杉矶的某个舞台上翩翩
Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke
你是否震惊得连指尖都颤抖
Rising against that blue sky
在望着那些黑烟直冲云霄时？
你是否慌张到暴怒，大吼着，担心你的邻居
Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor
还是只能坐在那儿流泪
Or did you just sit down and cry
你在为那些失去了所心爱的人的孩子们恸哭吗
并为了我们永远不会认识的他们祈祷
Did you weep for the children who lost their dear loved ones
是你吗，为了那些从废墟中走出的人们而狂喜
And pray for the ones who don't know
然后为了那些走得慢的人哽咽
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
是你吗，心中突然涌动着对红色，白色和蓝色的自豪
And sob for the ones left below
为那些牺牲在岗位上的英雄们骄傲
Did you burst out in pride for the red, white and blue
或突然抬起头为了找到来自天堂的回答
And the heroes who died just doin' what they do
看着镜子里的自己琢磨生命的价值
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
嗨，我只是个不入流的小歌手
And look at yourself and what really matters
对政治全然没兴趣
我看CNN，可别指望我
I'm just a singer of simple songs
能告诉你伊拉克和伊朗的区别
I'm not a real political man
但我相信耶稣，并常常向上帝祈祷
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
这事打我记事时就已经开始
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
信任，希望和爱这些美妙的东西
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
是他教会我的啊
And I remember this from when I was young
你在何处，于九月的那一天，世界停止转动的那个日子里？
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
为可怜而无知的孩子们授课
And the greatest is love
还是驾车奔驰在哪条州际公路
心里是否充满着属于幸存者的侥幸
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
孤独地徘徊在拥挤的房间
有没有拿起手机打给你的母亲，告诉她你爱她
Teaching a class full of innocent children
轻轻捧起床头的圣经，拭擦它落满尘埃的封皮
Or driving down some cold interstate
有没有半夜惊醒满脸泪水，希望这从未发生过
Did you feel guilty 'cause you're a survivor
闭上眼睛却再也进入不了梦乡
In a crowded room did you feel alone
第一次在日落时长久地沉默
Did you call up your mother and tell her you loved her
在大街上突然与陌生的人们说话
Did you dust off that Bible at home
午夜僵直在床上思绪沉入‘明天’的黑暗
零点时分敲打商铺的大门为自己买了把枪
Did you open your eyes, hope it never happened
昨晚是不是关上了那些暴力的老电影
And you close your eyes and not go to sleep
又看起了童年时候的“我爱露西”
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
是你吗，在教堂里紧紧握住每一个陌生人的手
Or speak to some stranger on the street
站在献血的队伍里挽起脏兮兮的衣袖
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
是你吗，一夜之间失掉了所有青春期的叛逆
Go out and buy you a gun
粘在你家人的身边并心底暗暗感谢上帝
嗨，我只是个不入流的小歌手
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
对政治全然没兴趣
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
我看CNN，可别指望我
能告诉你伊拉克和伊朗的区别
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some strangers
但我相信耶稣，并常常向上帝祈祷
Stand in line and give your own blood
这事打我记事时就已经开始
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
信任，希望和爱这些美妙的东西
Thank God you had somebody to love
是他教会我的啊
我只是一个不入流的歌手
I'm just a singer of simple songs
从来没去了解过什么政治
I'm not a real political man
虽然每晚都看CNN，但我对那些全然不了解
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I could
像什么世界的局势和变化
Tell you the difference in Iraq and Iran
可是我心里面总是深藏一个信仰
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
从我第一眼见到这个世界就埋下
And I remember this from when I was young
那些追求着，坚信着与爱着的心啊 他告诉我
要为了自由
Faith, hope and love are some good things He gave us
要坚信平等
And the greatest is love
要付出爱
你在何处，九月十一日，一切都进入黑暗的那一天？
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 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
And the greatest is love
And the greatest is love
Where were you when the world stop turning on that September day
