This song reflects on people's experiences and reactions on September 11, 2001 when terrorists attacked the United States. It asks the listener where they were when the attacks occurred and how they may have felt, such as shocked, angry, or crying over the loss of lives. It suggests people may have prayed for victims or felt pride in heroes who helped. While not an expert in politics, the singer knows about faith, hope and love, and that the greatest thing is love.
