What If God Is One Of Us

把这首歌曲作为音乐天地中的第一首，只因为对它无比喜爱，从曲风到歌词，也许上帝就是刚刚在公车上的遇到的那个陌生人，不是吗？
简介：
Joan Osborne在95年推出了一张结合蓝调、灵魂及福音歌曲的经典专辑Relish(喜悦)，96年让她得到了7项葛莱美提名，97年时再度获得葛莱美最佳摇滚女歌手的提名。当时在美国地区的销量就超过了3百万张，专辑中的这首One of us一举获得美国单曲榜冠军，这首歌可以说是所有乐迷对于Joan Osborne最熟悉的一首歌。此后的2年中，为推广这张专辑，Joan Osborne走遍了全球，同时也饱尝了这首涉及宗教信仰的歌曲所引起的宗教纠纷。她拿西方人心中无比神圣的上帝开玩笑，用辛辣讽刺的口吻把上帝从神台上拉了下来，用凡人才有的词汇调侃了一番。尽管这首歌在排行榜上风光无限，但她却被唱片公司解雇。

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?

CHORUS:
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 a 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 Prophets

(CHORUS)
Back up to heaven all alone.
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.

(CHORUS)
Like a holy rolling stone.
Back up to heaven all alone
Just tryin' to make his way Home
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome.
