"Oh, one of these nights at about twelve o'clock, this whole earth is gonna reel and rock. Saints will tremble and cry for pain, for the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane... If God had a name, what would 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 profits?

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...trying to make His way home. Back up to heaven all alone. Nobody callin' 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 callin' on the phone, except for the Pope maybe in Rome." ~ Joan Osborne, 1995
