Lyrics for Song: What If God Was One Of Us
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Alanis Morissette
If God had a name, what would it be?
And would you call it to His face, if you were faced with Him?
And all His glory, what would you ask if you had just one question?
Yeah yeah God is great
Yeah yeah God good
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger among us
Trying to make His way home
If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you wanna see? If seeing meant you had to believe
in things like Heaven, and in Jesus and the Saints, and all the prophets.
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 among us
Trying to make His way home
Just trying to make His way home
Back up to Heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone,
except the Pope maybe in Rome.
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 among us
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 the Pope maybe in Rome.

What If God Was One Of Us
Alanis Morissette's 'What If God Was One Of Us' stands as a poignant exploration of faith, doubt, and the human condition within her evolving discography. Released during a period where her songwriting delved deeper into spiritual questioning, the track reflects her signature blend of raw emotion and melodic accessibility. While often associated with her broader body of work that challenges religious dogma and examines personal morality, this recording specifically addresses the tension between divine presence and human limitation. The song captures a moment of introspection where the listener is invited to consider the implications of a deity who might share in human frailty. It remains a significant piece in Morissette's catalog, illustrating her continued commitment to addressing complex philosophical themes through accessible pop-rock arrangements. |
