One of Us Songtext
von Joan Osborne

Thanks, thanks a lot
Ok, let′s do "One of us"
This is a song that was written by Eric Bazilian
Philadelphia, legend Eric Bazilian
Hi Eric, if you're listening

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
Trying to make his way home


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

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
Trying to make his way home

Jus 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
Trying to make his way home


Just tryin′ to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin′ on the phone, no
Just tryin' to make his way home

Nobody callin′ on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome

Thanks a lot
Yeah, yeah, that was, that song′s called "One of us"
That seems to be everywhere these days
