Joan Osborne
One of Us
[Spoken Intro]
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

[Instrumental Break: 00:16-01:02]

[Verse 1]
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?

[Pre-Chorus]
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints
And all the prophets?
[Pre-Chorus]
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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?

[Bridge]
Just tryna make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome

[Instrumental Break: 03:21-03:57]
[Guitar Solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
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
Like a holy rolling stone?
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryna make his way home
[Outro]
Nobody callin' on the phone
