One of us
Joan Osborne
Dio esiste? Joan Osborne si è posta questa domanda nella canzone "One of us".
Anzi, si è portata uno step più avanti, chiedendoci cosa faremmo se ci accorgessimo che Dio in realtà è uno di noi, uno sciattone che sta un bus per trovare la strada per casa, in paradiso. In effetti non lo so, certo sarebbe incredibilmente spiazzante.
Testo e accordi originali di queta ballad evocativa sono disponibili qui di seguito.
