"One of Us"
That's the whole title.
What you did NOT know is that this song was originally written and performed by Eric Bazilian, who is best known for his work as a member of The Hooters. However, he recorded it as a demo and hid it as a hidden track on his debut solo album (and The Hooters have performed the song as well since).
Bazilian was part of the songwriting team that worked on Osborne's debut album, Relish, and he ended up playing his demo for this quick little song he wrote to impress a girl - and she asked to record the song.
The song went on to win several Grammys, so right choice, Eric!
The song expounds on the imagery of man being created in God's image - and some found it to be a little sacrilegious - which, of course, missed the point of this beautiful song.
