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 Gods 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 Gods words from Mama's lips spoke to her son
Would His will be done?
If I was a gun
