20. This was the song that Alan was slated to sing at the Country Music Awards?

Answer: No

This was not the song that Alan was originally supposed to sing. He kept this song until the very last second before he went on the stage. Alan wanted to let the world know how he felt about what happened on September 11, 2001. He felt helpless and hurt, and he really wasn't sure how to express what he was feeling. So he decided to do what he does best, he wrote a song. He donated $1,250,000 to the 'Victims Of The World Trade Center.' Alan is a gentle man, who never wanted recongition for this song. It was George Jones who told Alan that this song should be heard. George told Alan that he couldn't think of a better place than at the Country Music Awards. Alan has also set up a trust fund to help the families of the victims of that fateful day. In the days and years following September 11, 2001, this song was played continually on country music radio stations around the country. In an effort to reproduce what Alan did, several artists came forward and said that they too could have wrote a song about that day, but that they chose not to. Alan poured his heart and soul into this beautiful song. I do believe this song says it all. He not only wrote this song to help ease his own pain, but to ease everyone's pain. This quiz is dedicated to Alan Jackson, the best songwriter and country music singer this century.

Also, as a side note, this song was placed into the Congressional Record of November 16, 2001.
