Where Were You   (Lou Mac 224)   Don Wood
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK

Sides face grand square
Where were you when the world stopped turning
On that September Day?
*Were you in the yard with your wife and family
Or working on some stage in LA?

Four ladies chain, oh you turn with that girl
Chain her back home, promenade
Did you shout out in anger and fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry?


FIGURE

Heads (sides) square thru to four hands you travel
Meet the sides (heads) and make a right hand star
Heads (sides) star left go once around and then
Same pair you square thru 4
*Did you burst out with pride for the red white and blue
Swing with this girl, promenade her then, too
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself and what really matters?


ALTERNATE LYRICS

*Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened?

*Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her?
Did you dust off the Bible at home?


*Did you feel guilt because you're a survivor

*Did you look up to heaven...

*Did you go to church and hold hands with a stranger
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family


*And look ...


CLOSER

Sides face grand square
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 the difference in Iraq and Iran

Allemande and weave
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


TAG

And the greatest is love
Sides face grand square halfway
Where were you when the world stopped turning
On that September day
