Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning) - Alan Jackson

The sun in my eyes The sun is a step out the door I know I felt all this before, before And the beat of my heart It keeps telling me I gotta go But I just keep coming back for more For more What do we do When the world stops turning? I already learnt all the lessons I'm learning Either love me or hate me Please just give me something to feel alive To feel alive Am I fooling myself? Tryna turn water to wine Why can't I leave all these behind, behind? I put my heart on the shelf Seems like I'll stay here awhile And miss the only time you see me smile, oh What do we do When the world stops turning? I already learnt all the lessons I'm learning Either love me or hate me Please just give me something to feel alive To feel alive (and I feel it in my heart, hmm) Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning Keeps turning (I get that feeling) Keeps turning Keeps turning (once again) Keeps turning Keeps turning (I get that feeling) What do we do When the world stops turning? I already learnt all the lessons I'm learning Either love me or hate me Please just give me something to feel alive To feel alive Either love, either love Either love Either love (either love me), either love (either hate me) Either love (love me or hate) And I just coming back Oh I keep coming back, hmm I just keep coming back I keep coming back Oh I keep coming back Oh I keep coming back I keep coming back I keep on coming back, oh I keep coming back Oh I keep coming back Lord I don't know why I'm coming back I just keep coming back I can't stop myself Hold myself Keep myself from coming back...

I said "God I do not understand this world" Everything is dying and broken Why do I see nothing but suffering God I'm asking could this be your plan? Sin has taken hold of this whole land Will You not say anything else to me? He said "where were you the day that I measured" Sunk the banks and stretched the line over All the earth and carved out its corner stone? Where were you the day that I spoke and Told the sun to split the night open Calmed the morning dawn with its light to show Who shut in the ocean with stone doors Marked the reach of tides on those new shores Hung the day the waves rose and first broke forth Have you seen the springs of that great sea Walked the caverns carved in the black deep Through the gates of darkness there on its floor Have you seen the armoury I hold Snow and haild are stacked up in silos For the times of trouble and war and strife Can you raise your voice to the storm cloud Would the thunder answer and ring out Does the lightning ask you where it should strike Who has cleft the channels for torrents Rain to sprout the desert with forest In the wilderness that my hand has built Can you hunt the prey for your lions Can you use the chords of Orion Is this whole world bening beneath your will? I spoke of things I did not understand Things too wonderful for me Although I had no right to ask My God knelt and answered me

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.
