Una joya de los '90

Cuando Joan Osborne grabó este tema, posiblemente no pensó que fuese a tener el éxito que le trajo. Una poesía inédita sobre la posibilidad de que Dios fuese uno de nosotros. Simplemente una persona más, pero que a la hora de tomar el colectivo para volver a su casa, va hacia el cielo. Obviamente, ésto le supuso más de una polémica con los grupos cristianos ortodoxos. No tengo mucho más que agregar. El tema habla por sí mismo.
Disfrutenlo uds. mismos.

One Of Us (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

Siempre, después de escuchar esta canción, me retumba en la cabeza esta pregunta:
What would you ask if you had just one question?

Y la verdad que no sé la respuesta.
