One Of Us

[di-ankin]

If God had a name what would it be
And would you call it to his face,
if you were faced with him,
and all his glory,
what would you ask if you had just one question?

and ya ya God is great
ya ya God is good
ya ya ya ya ya,
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 want to see,
if seeing meant that you would have to believe,
in things like heavin
and in Jesus and the Saints and the Prophets,

and ya ya God is great
ya ya God is good
ya ya ya ya ya,
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,
tryin to make his way home,
back up to heavin all alone,
nobody calling on the phone,
exept for the Pope maybe in Rome,

ya ya God is great,
ya ya God is good,
ya ya ya ya ya,
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 holey rollin' stone,
back up to heavin all alone,
just tryin to make his way home,
nobody callin on the phone,
exept for the Pope maybe in Rome.
