(God works in mysterious ways)
(Mysterious ways)
Ah
Hey
One man, one goal
One mission
One heart, one soul
Just one solution
One flash of light
Yeah, one God (one vision)
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Give me one vision, yeah
No wrong, no right
I'm gonna tell you there's no black and no white
No blood, no stain
All we need is (one worldwide vision)
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One race, one hope, one real decision
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, yeah, oh, yeah, oh, yeah
I had a dream when I was young
A dream of sweet illusion
A glimpse of hope and unity
And visions of one sweet union
But a cold wind blows
And a dark rain falls
And in my heart, it shows
Look what they've done to my dream
Yeah!
(One vision)
So give me your hands
Give me your hearts
I'm ready
There's only one direction
One world and one nation
Yeah, one vision
No hate, no fight, just excitation
All through the night, it's a celebration
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah
(One, one, one, one, one, one, one)
One flesh, one bone, one true religion
One voice, one hope, one real decision
Give me one night (yeah)
Give me one hope (hey)
Just give me (ah)
One man (one man)
One bar (one night)
One day (hey, hey)
Just gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme (fried chicken)
(Vision, vision, vision, vision, vision)
(God works in mysterious ways)
About This Song
"One Vision" is Queen's anthemic call for global unity and collective hope, built around the idealistic dream of a world without division or conflict. The lyrics express a utopian vision where humanity transcends racial, religious, and political boundaries ("no black and no white," "one true religion"), delivered with Freddie Mercury's passionate vocals over a driving rock arrangement featuring synthesizers that reflect the mid-80s production style. The song captures both the optimism and urgency of its era, with its repetitive, chant-like structure creating an almost religious fervor around the concept of universal brotherhood. Despite its somewhat naive idealism, the track stands as one of Queen's most politically conscious statements, blending their signature stadium rock grandeur with a message of hope that resonates as both deeply personal ("I had a dream when I was young") and broadly humanitarian.
