One of Us
Michael Pedicin Lyrics

If God had a name, what would it be
What title would fit the being we call God?

And would we call it 2 His face
Would we address God directly by this title?

If we were faced with him and all his glory?
If we came face to face with God, what would we think?

What would you ask if you had just one question?
Given only one chance to ask, what would be the most important question you could pose to God?

What if God was one of us?
What if God were just another human being?

Just a slave like one of us?
Maybe God would occupy a lower social position, like a servant.

Just a stranger on the bus
What if God was a random person on a public transit bus?

Trying to make his way home
Like anyone else, maybe God is just someone trying to find their place in the world.

If God had a face, what would it look like
If we visualized God as a human, what would God's features look like?

And would you want to see it
If given the chance, would you want to behold God's face?

If seeing meant that you would have to believe in things like heaven
Would believing in heaven and other divine aspects be a requirement to see God's face?

And Jesus and the saints and all the prophets?
Would seeing God's face also require accepting established religious figures and doctrines?

Like a holy rolling stone
Perhaps God moves mysteriously and independently, like a wandering saint.

Back up to heaven all alone
Maybe God ascends back to the sky after completing their mission.

Nobody calling on the phone
God doesn't have a direct line, like a forgotten friend or relative.

Except for the Pope maybe in Rome
Perhaps the only one with a direct line to God is the Pope in Rome.

But He ain't home, he ain't home, he ain't home!
But even the Pope might not receive an answer when they need it most.

No, no, no, He ain't home!
In the end, we cannot control or fully understand God's actions or purpose.
