I wish I were a Christian

Then I would never be alone

Some of my friends are Christians

Do they never cry alone?

Does the preacher know the answers?

Or are they all within that book?

I would like to know the answers

Perhaps I should open up that book

It would be nice to lean on someone

Put my independence to one side

It would be nice to know there’s someone

Who would be forever on my side

I went to church today you know

Perhaps that’s why these thoughts are in my head

I went to say goodbye to uncle who is dead

But when he said now let us pray

 I didn’t bow my head.
