Ahanda sözleri
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
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
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
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
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
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
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome
bugün keşfettiğim ve eve gelince hemen indirdiğim,arka arkaya bilgisayarımda döndüğü sırada sözlükte gördüğüm,evde gizli kamera olduğunu sanmama yol açan şarkı.joan osborne'ün mükemmel sesiyle söylediği ve ana konusu "tanrıyı arama" olan aşmış sözlere sahip eser,nakaratı da çok hoştur.
sözlükte if god was one of usşeklinde gecen ama aslında one of us olan joan osborne'un relish albumunun şarkısıdır.99 yılına damga vurmuştur bu şarkı.Sözleri oldukça ilginç ve tartışmalara yol açabilecek şekildedir.Şarkıda tanrının ulaşılmaz olmaması gerektiği,aramızda gezen bir yabancı olması gerektiği**..vb gibi düşünceler anlatılmaya çalışılmıştır.
joan osborne un bir anlik gafletle yazdigini dusundugum * one of us sarkisindan bir bolum.son bolumdeki cept for the pope maybe in rome dizesi de iyidir
jim carreynin aman tanrım (ing. bruce almighty) filminde bir sahnede söylediği ve bir şarkı bir yere bu kadar mı uyar dediğiniz o an için tam yerinde söylenmiş şarkı
99 senesinde capitol radio günün ilk on şarkısı listesinde uzun bir süre boyunca (birkaç ay) birinci sırada kalmış şarkıdır. çok popüler olmuş ve tutulmuş bir şarkı idi, bir de o zamanlar hook diye bir şarkı vardı ama one of us ı hiç geçemiyordu.
They passed me by, all of those great romances
You were, I felt, robbing me of my rightful chances
My picture clear, everything seemed so easy
And so I dealt you the blow
One of us had to go
Now its different, I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
I saw myself as a concealed attraction
I felt you kept me away from the heat and the action
Just like a child, stubborn and misconceiving
Thats how I started the show
One of us had to go
Now Ive changed and I want you to know
One of us is crying
One of us is lying
In her lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid feeling small
Wishing she had never left at all
Never left at all
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely
One of us is only
Waiting for a call
