I don't know if there's a God, but I do know that I like this song. And I still do remember E, my long lost friend from Seattle, who introduced this song to me years ago. Anyway, I find it a bit strange that the song reminds me so much of E. Well, maybe it's just the power of music. It can evoke some memories, no matter if we want to remember or not. Like smell of some specific food can bring us back to our childhood Like blogging can make me think of you, another long lost friend, who still has a place here among music and poems...
By Joan Osborne
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
