The Great God Om is the main god of Omania. When we first encounter him in Small Gods he is in the shape of a one-eyed tortoise. Once a small god that had many believers, he found himself stuck in that shape because almost nobody believed in him anymore. The only believer he had was a novice named Brutha. Nowadays Om is back with many believers, but he hasn�t forgotten the lessons he learned while being a tortoise - he is the one god that doesn�t demand anything from his believers, and also doesn�t appear before any of them. It turns out that it�s much easier to believe in a god that doesn�t appear at all than one that appears drunk and wrecks your house. |

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 |
|
|
|
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 |
|
|
|
Tryin' to make His way home |
|
Back up to Heaven all alone |
|
Nobody callin' on the phone |

Yeah, yeah, God is great |
|
Yeah, yeah, God is good |

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |

Just a slob like one of us |

Just a stranger on the bus |

Trying to make His way home |
|

Just tryin' to make his way home |
|
Like a holy rolling stone |

Back up to Heaven all alone |

Nobody callin' on the phone |
