"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?





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 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

Just trying 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 rolling stone

Back up to Heaven all alone

Just tryin to make his way home





Nobody callin' on the phone
