Cher Lloyd - One of Us lyrics
[Chorus: Cher Lloyd] What if god was one of us Just a slob like one of us Just a stranger on the bus, tryna make his way home? [Verse 1: Chris Rene] She was eight years old when her brother was shot He got caught walking from the school down her own block Couldn’t take the pain, so she turned up on the streets at only 16 What if you grew up in a happy home And go to church every Sunday to thank the Lord After work, you were walking down the street Saw that girl on the corner, would you turn the other cheek? [Pre-Chorus: Chris Rene] What if God was one of us? How would we know? And if there is another life, where would we go? ‘Cause I [?] hell on earth before I’ve seen too many people lose their soul We’re all looking for the answer, praying to the sky But maybe we should look inside Her papa never loved her, mama never hugged her So she grew up in that [?] [Chorus: Cher Lloyd & (Chris Rene)] What if god was one of us (Yeah, what if He was) Just a slob like one of us (Ashes to ashes and dust to dust) Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home? (Tryna make it, yeah, we’re tryna make it Just tryna make our way home) Tryna make his way [Verse 2: Chris Rene] If I didn’t say this, it would be truly wasted I am an emanation, here’s a demonstration Excuse me if I’m blatant, but I’ve been really patient I see it in every single thing that’s been created Girl on the corner or that thief in jail Just ask, they all got a story to tell I know you got secrets hidden in scars Whether we throwin’ ones in churches and strip bars [Pre-Chorus: Chris Rene] What if God was one of us? How would we know? And if there is another life, where would we go? ‘Cause I [?] hell on earth before I’ve seen too many people lose their soul We’re all looking for the answer, praying to the sky But maybe we should look inside Her papa never loved her, mama never hugged her So she grew up in that [?] [Chorus: Cher Lloyd & (Chris Rene)] What if god was one of us (Yeah, what if She was) Just a slob like one of us (Ashes to ashes and dust to dust) Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home? (One of us, one of us, yeah Tryna make it, yeah, we’re tryna make it Just tryna make our way home) Tryna make his way [Bridge: Chris Rene] I wanna bleed lyrics, leave people blessed But with this fame, it’s a test I best get a vest for my soul ’cause I’m gonna need it ‘Cause all the prophets in the past, man they’ve been deleted But I’ma say this from my heart, the world needs more love And I’m still praying to that light from above So f** what you heard and what you thought you knew Tell me what would you do? If God was you Chorus: Cher Lloyd & (Chris Rene)] What if god was one of us (One of us, yeah) Just a slob like one of us (What if He was, yeah) Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home? (Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home, yeah Just tryna make his way home) What if god was one of us (One of us, yeah) Just a slob like one of us (Ashes to ashes and dust to dust) Just a stranger on the bus tryna make his way home? (Just a stranger on the bus Tryna make it, yeah, we’re tryna make it Just tryna make our way home) Tryna make his way home (Yeah, one of us) What if god was one of us tryna make his way home?
