Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
And 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
Tryin' 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?
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And 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
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
Like back up to heaven all alone
Nobody callin' on the phone
'Cept for the Pope maybe in Rome
And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
And 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
Tryin' to make his way home?
Just tryin' to make his way home
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
The song "One of Us" by Noize MC, Карандаш, Баста, and featuring Joan Osborne is a contemplation of what it would be like if God was an ordinary person, walking amongst us. The song asks a series of questions, such as "If God had a name what would it be?" and "If God was one of us, just a slob like one of us, just a stranger on the bus tryin' to make his way home?" These questions are meant to challenge listeners to reconsider their beliefs and perceptions of God.
The chorus repeats the phrases "Yeah, yeah, God is great, yeah, yeah, God is good" to emphasize the positive aspects of God, but then contrasts it with the possibility that God could be "just a slob" or "just a stranger on the bus." This juxtaposition forces the listener to question their assumptions about what God would look like or behave like.
The later part of the song raises the issue of belief, asking if seeing the face of God would make one believe in heaven or Jesus and the saints. This shows how individuals' beliefs are sometimes tied to their perceptions of God, and that seeing God in a different light could change one's beliefs altogether. The lyrics end with the notion that God is just trying to make his way home, alone, much like a holy rolling stone.
Overall, "One of Us" is a thought-provoking song that challenges the listener to question their assumptions and beliefs about God.
