What If God Was One Of Us

Joan Osborne

Transposer:

Verse 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 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? Verse 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

La chanson évoque l'idée intrigante que Dieu pourrait être parmi nous, vivant une existence ordinaire, confronté aux mêmes défis que nous. Elle pose des questions profondes sur la nature de Dieu et notre perception de Sa présence dans le monde. Si nous rencontrions Dieu face à face, que lui demanderions-nous ? La chanson suggère que, sous une apparence familière, nous pourrions avoir l'occasion de réfléchir à notre foi et à ce que cela signifie vraiment de croire. Ce morceau touche à des thèmes universels de quête spirituelle et de recherche de sens dans nos vies quotidiennes. Il invite à envisager la divinité non pas comme une abstraction lointaine, mais comme une réalité accessible, se mêlant à notre humanité et à notre vulnérabilité. Cela nous pousse à considérer comment nous interagissons avec les autres, en étant peut-être un jour en présence de quelque chose de sacré.
