MUSICA: Joan Osborne - One of us

So one of these nights and about twelve o'clock

This old world's gonna reel and rock

Saints will tremble and cry for pain

For the Lord's gonna come, in his heavenly airplane

Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

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

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

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?

Tryin' to make His way home

Back up to Heaven all alone

Nobody callin' on the phone

'Cept for 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 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

E se dio fosse uno di noi? E se dio fosse in ognuno di noi? E se un gesto gentile, una carezza, al nostro "prossimo", chi sia sia, potesse cambiare la sua vita? E se fosse come dare una carezza a dio stesso, per accedere alle porte del Paradiso? E se quella carezza a dio fosse solo la carezza al più sfortunato fra noi?
Questi i temi affrontati dalla brava cantautrice Joan Osborne, in questo pezzo commovente, dal grande valore spirituale ed emotivo, e pregno della fama che merita - immensa.
