If I was a gun Well, I'd win every time And if you think otherwise Just look at all the wars I've won If I was a gun Would this ole world be a better? Could I protect the ones that never Thought that they'd be needing one? If I was a gun But I'm a man who knows There is wrong and there is right I understand that there's A time to love, a time to fight And if I never heard God's words from Mama's lips spoke to her son Would His will be done? If I was a gun If I was a gun Would my family stay safe? From evil's wicked ways That the world sees too much of And if I was a gun All the power that I have To take a life can't take it back Once all the smoke is dead and gone If I was a gun If I was a gun I couldn't pull my own trigger 'Cause the choice is in the finger Of the one who's holdin' on If I was a gun But I'm a man who knows There is wrong and there is right I understand that there's A time to love, a time to fight And if I never heard God's words from Mama's lips spoke to her son Would His will be done? If I was a gun
