Joan OsborneSo one of these nights and about twelve o'clock
This old world's going to reel and rock
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
For the Lord's gonna come in his heavenly airplane
If God had a , what would it be?

if you had just one ?
And yeah, yeah, God is
Yeah, yeah, God is
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a like one of us?
Just a on the bus
Trying to make His way home?
If God had a face, what would it look like?

Like a holy stone
Back up to Heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make His way home
Nobody callin' on the phone

"For me, the song was more about what happens to you when you look at something that has completely changed your world view, which could be meeting God, it could be meeting an alien, it could be a near-death experience, it could be anything like that. Just how everything you know is wrong, or everything you know is right, and you didn't know it."
