One Of Us

Artists : Joan Osborne : One Of Us

[Oh, one of these nights at about twelve o'clock
This whole earth's gonna reel and rock
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
For the Lord's a-gonna come in his heavenly airplane]

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
Tryin' to make His way home

If God had a face, what would it look like
And would you wanna see
If seeing 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
Tryin' to make His way home
He's tryin' to 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
Tryin' to make His way home
Just tryin' to make His way home
Like a holy rollin' stone
Back up to Heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make His way home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'cept for the Pope, maybe, in Rome
