Il testo della What if god was one of us

Joan Osborne

pochette album What if god was one of us

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?

He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

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?

Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
