One Of Us - Joan Osborne (cover-live by Bill Sharkey)
One Of Us (Joan Osborne, 1995). Live cover performance by Bill Sharkey, Home Studio, Hawaii Kai, HI. 2022-07-24. "Keeping the Oldies & Classics Alive"
"One Of Us," written by Hoosters' Eric Baziliam, was Osborne's one and only Billboard Hot 100 entry (one-hit-wonder), and in 1995 it rose to no. 4 on the chart and remained on the chart for 22 weeks (Whitburn, 2013). Bazilliam stated: "For me, the song was more about what happens to you when you look at something that has completely changed your world view, which could be meeting God, it could be meeting an alien, it could be a near-death experience, it could be anything like that. Just how everything you know is wrong, or everything you know is right, and you didn't know it" (songfacts, 2022). The song was nominated for a number of Grammy's: Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal (wardsandwinners, 1995).

Lyrics:
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?
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
