not so long ago in oklahoma the son of an okie preacher knelt to pray he said lord i wanna be a christian soldier just like you and fight to build a new and better day now many years and miles from oklahoma that same young okie boy still kneels to pray but he don t pray to be no christian soldier anymore he just prays to make it through another day cause it s hard to be a christian soldier when you tote a gun and it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry but we re playin cards writin home an havin lots of fun tellin jokes and learnin how to die you know the things i ve come to know seem so confusin and it s gettin hard to tell what s wrong from right i can t separate the winners from the losers anymore and i m thinkin of just givin up the fight cause it s hard to be a christian soldier when you tote a gun and it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry but we re playin cards writin home an ain t we havin fun turnin on and learnin how to die
