'If God was one of us' - II conditional

Today I have prepared a Joan Osborne's song - 'If God was one of us' (pl. Gdyby Bóg był jednym z nas). The song is perfect if you find it difficult to understand the second conditional (drugi okres warunkowy). The second conditional, as you surely remember, is used to talk about unreal things and events that are not likely to happen, e.g. winning a lottery, being somebody different, meeting the queen of the UK during your stay in London, etc.

The pattern is quite easy to remember :

if + past simple + would + infinitive

części zdania możemy oszczywiście odwrócić :

would + infinitive + if + past simple

for example:

If I won a lottery, I would buy a new house.

I would be very happy if I met Queen Elizabeth in London.

The song focuses on (=koncentruje się na) a quite unreal situation - meeting God (spotkanie Boga) and having the opportunity to ask him a question (stanie przed możliwością zadania mu pytania).
Listen to the song and try to complete the gaps! Remember that most of the sentences have been written using the second conditional!

If God …………… a name, what …………… it be
And …………… you call it to his face
If you …………… faced with him in all his glory
What …………… you ask if you …………… just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God …………… one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a …………… on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God …………… a face what …………… it look like
And …………… you …………… to see
If seeing meant that you …………… …………… 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 …………… one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a …………… on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody …………… 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 …………… one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a …………… on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody …………… on the phone
Except for the Pope maybe in Rome

In my next post you'll find the answers and my translation of the lyrics!
