One Of Us Lyrics

[00:01.72] So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock
[00:06.24] This old world's going to reel and rock
[00:09.48] Saints will tremble and cry for pain
[00:12.54] For the lord's gonna come in his heavenly aeroplane
[00:15.91]
[00:46.38] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:51.61]
[01:00.74] If God had a name what would it be
[01:05.84] And would you call it to his face
[01:09.49] If you were faced with him, in all His glory
[01:15.19] What would you ask if you had just one question?
[01:21.94]
[01:23.05] And yeah, yeah, God is great
[01:28.54] Yeah, yeah, God is good
[01:34.01] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[01:38.83] What if God was one of us
[01:44.46] Just a slob like one of us
[01:49.95] Just a stranger on the bus
[01:54.05] Trying to make His way home
[01:59.23]
[02:01.40] If God had a face what would it look like
[02:06.56] And would you want to see
[02:10.10] If seeing meant that you would have to believe
[02:15.59] In things like Heaven and in Jesus and the saints
[02:20.46] And all the prophets
[02:23.39] And yeah, yeah, God is great
[02:29.07] Yeah, yeah, God is good
[02:34.42] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[02:39.02] What if God was one of us
[02:44.57] Just a slob like one of us
[02:50.26] Just a stranger on the bus
[02:54.24] Trying to make his way home
[02:59.66] Tryin' to make his way home
[03:04.81] Back up to heaven all alone
[03:10.16] Nobody callin' on the phone
[03:15.68] 'Cept for the pope maybe, in Rome
[03:20.93]
[03:55.76] Yeah, yeah, God is great
[04:01.65] Yeah, yeah, God is good
[04:07.23] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[04:11.64] What if God was one of us
[04:17.00] Just a slob like one of us
[04:22.38] Just a stranger on the bus
[04:26.64] Trying to make his way home
[04:32.21] Just trying to make his way home
[04:37.89] Like a holy rolling stone
[04:42.94] Back up to heaven all alone
[04:48.18] Just tryin' to make his way home
[04:54.14]
[04:59.31] Nobody callin' on the phone
[05:05.16] 'Cept for the pope maybe, in Rome
[05:10.94]
