One of Us
Orbita Wiru Lyrics
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
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 the 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
But not the Prophets and...
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 the bus
Trying to make His way home
Orbita Wiru's song One of Us explores the idea of what it would be like if God were one of us. The lyrics ask the listener to consider what they would do if they were faced with God in all His glory and had the opportunity to ask just one question. The repetition of the lines "God is great" and "God is good" could be interpreted as a commentary on the way we often use religious platitudes without truly thinking about their meaning.
The chorus of the song poses the question "what if God was one of us," suggesting that perhaps we already interact with God on a daily basis without even knowing it. The verses ask what God's name and face would look like, and whether we would want to see it if it meant having to believe in Heaven, Jesus, and the Saints. The line "But not the Prophets and..." is left intentionally unfinished, perhaps suggesting that the singer is unsure about their own beliefs or hesitant to fully embrace certain aspects of their religion.
Overall, the song encourages the listener to think critically about their beliefs and imagine a world in which God is not just an abstract concept, but a tangible presence in our everyday lives.
