Maybe I was: Out in the yard with my wife and children Working on some stage in LA Did I stand there in shock at the site of That black smoke rising against that blue sky Did I shout out in anger In fear for my neighbor Or did I just sit down and cry Did I weep for the children Who lost their dear loved ones And pray for the ones who don't know Did I rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble And sob for the ones left below Did I burst out in pride For the red white and blue The heroes who died just doing what they do Did I look up to heaven for some kind of answer And look at myself, to 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 was I when the force stopped turning that September day Teaching a class full of innocent children Driving down some cold interstate Did I feel guilty cause I'm a survivor In a crowded room did I feel alone Did I call up my mother and tell her I love her Did I dust off that bible at home Did I open my eyes and hope it never happened Close my eyes and not go to sleep Did I notice the sunset the first time in ages Speak with some stranger on the street Did I lay down at night and think of tomorrow Go out and buy me a gun Did I turn off that violent old movie I was watching And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns Did I go to a church and hold hands with some stranger Stand in line and give my own blood Did I just stay home and cling tight to my family Thank God I 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 was I when the force stopped turning that September day Where was I when the force stopped turning? Maybe I was:

Out in the yard with my wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did I stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did I shout out in anger
In fear for my neighbor
Or did I just sit down and cry

Did I weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don’t know
Did I rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below

Did I burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did I look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at myself, to 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 was I when the force stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did I feel guilty cause I’m a survivor
In a crowded room did I feel alone
Did I call up my mother and tell her I love her
Did I dust off that bible at home
Did I open my eyes and hope it never happened
Close my eyes and not go to sleep
Did I notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did I lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy me a gun
Did I turn off that violent old movie I was watching
And turn on “I Love Lucy” reruns
Did I go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give my own blood
Did I just stay home and cling tight to my family
Thank God I 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 was I when the force stopped turning that September day

But I have chosen this name becasue I will continue on in his ways. Episode III will without a doubt prevent my own untimely death and save my marraige. Sure I said the same things about the first two and they brought me to a dark place that doctors encourage not to speak of, but this is different. I have even sold my house and quit my job in anticipation of Episode III's innevitable triggering of the Apocalypse. See you guys in hell! I am not Gearge Lucas.
