One Of Us
Joan Osborne
(So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock)
(This old world's gonna reel and rock)
(Saints will tremble and cry for pain)
(For the Lord's gonna come in His heavenly airplane)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If God had a name
What would it be? And would you call it to His face
If you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?
And, yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryna make his way home
If God had a face
What would it look like? And would you wanna see
If seein' meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets?
And, yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryna make his way home
Just tryna make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryna make his way home
Like a holy rollin' stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryna make his way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome
