Seminoles And Saints: Ground Zero

"Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)"

Where were you when the world stopped turning 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 love 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

Travel Post #14: In September of 2010, I visited Ground Zero. It was a solemn experience that brought back memories of 9-11. I remember exactly where I was standing, what I was doing, thinking, etc. During our visit we saw firefighters outside of the station and people visiting the memorial.
