Lyrics for All God's People as interpreted by K-nuxXx

All God's People Lyrics
So all you people give freely
Make welcome inside your homes
Thank God you people give freely
Don't turn your back on the lessons of the Lord

All prime ministers and majesty around the world
Open your eyes look, touch and feel
Rule with your heart, live with your conscience
Love, love
Love, love and be free
We're all God's people

Gotta face up
Better grow up
Gotta stand tall and be strong
(Gotta face up)
(Better grow up)

Gotta face up
Better grow up
Gotta stand tall and be strong
(Gotta face up)
(Better grow up)

We're all God's people
(Gotta face up)
(Better grow up)

Yeah - yes there was this magic light
I said to myself
I'd better go to bed and have an early night
Then I, then I, then I - then I went into a dream

Rule with your heart and live with your conscience

We're all God's people give freely
Make welcome inside your homes
Let us be thankful, he's so incredible

We're all God's people
We're all God's people
We're all God's people
We're all God's people

maybe its because i'm a christian, but it seems to me like freddie has found some sort of faith near the end. this is from innuendo, the last album released while freddie was alive, it makes sense that he is comtemplating whats going to happen to his soul after that fateful day in november '92. i mean lyrics like "Don't turn your back on the lessons of the Lord" and "Let us be thankful, he's so incredible" seem very full on. anybody else agree?

Mincepies, I pray that youre right. and I feel that way too! he sounded so changed... like he really was facing up, growing up, being strong living with his contious ruling with his heart and had realised something amazing and beautiful! Check out the song, "my life has been saved". he thanks the Lord and then says this over and over, its quite emotional if youre close to him.

This is a powerful song that is about Freddie and his relationship with god. It is about the relationship between all people on earth and how we should help each other out because we really are all one with god. Only Queen could bring such majesty to rock and roll. I am sure that any god of love would want Freddie in heaven. He brought so much joy to the lives of people including myself.

To me it's pretty clear that this song was Freddie's last attack on weak religious people. Go look at the lyrics of "Innuendo" (the title song from the very same album) and you'll see that Freddie sure was not in good terms with god (and he was not even sure that there is a god). Come on, Freddie had absolutely no reason to become religious; god! He was DYING OF AIDS!

All God's People was written with Mike Moran for the Barcelona album (which is a must listen). For some reason it was not put on the album, and ended up as a Queen track on Innuendo.

I don't believe -at all- Freddie "found faith at the end".

Either it has been there forever, while still christians shouldn't be gay/bisexual, according to the pope and the bible and al that.

I don't believe he found "faith". He IS faith. He believed in himself, in the lowe he would leave behind in his friends.

It was composed for Queen+Mike Moran Project Africa at night.

It was originally called Africa at Night and was written by Freddie and Mike Moran for Barcelona. It fits well in with the mood of that album, so it is no surprise. The real question is why Freddie remembered it and had it put on Innuendo.

Well, I have to disagree with AmyMercury! For a long time I thought I was imagining things for years, but I have only just been able to believe the goodness of God. As soon as I believed him I really saw what he did for Freddie! Beautiful grace! I was wanting to tell people but I thought they would think I was a nutter! This is a condensed version, but I was wanting to tell my mum on Saturday but I couldn't because I thought she would think I was crazy. So I said to her I would e-mail it to her! Honestly! I was bursting to say something, but I was afraid to say it out loud incase I was called mad! Five minutes after I e-mailed her we were eating tea and she said, "I want to read you something." She was flicking though the Daily Mail Weekend magazine and there was an article in it. She read out this, the last paragraph:

"Let the last word come from another of Freddie's friends, Liza
Minnelli. "In the end," she says, "Freddie sounded like he was singing to God."

My jaw dropped and I just started crying! My mum had no idea what I had just wanted to say and e-mailed! Nobody in the world knew apart from me. All I know is the beautiful grace I saw and what happened on Saturday are completely inexplicable outside of God.

Sorry, this is bloody freaky too! I am bloody stunned! A few days ago my friends mum started talking about Freddie and then she said how she was glad he was with God because he is getting the love he needed. I was stunned because I hadn't said a word to her and she knew nothing (about what I put in the above post). ("Bloody freaky," as one of my friends said!) Twice in two weeks?! Coincidence or God-incidence?! I am soooo happy, I don't have to worry about him anymore! Oh, help, how does this tie into song meanings?! Err, yes, the meaning of this song is that Freddie must have been singing to God!

Maybe Freddie was saying that he didn't want to fit into a particular religion but did have some belief in how we can help each other make the world a better place, just like in the song 'The Miracle'.
The most powerful message here is 'love and be free'.

Or it could be anti-predjudice, against religious people's rejection of gay/bisexual people: saying that we should love everybody rather than following religious doctrine which can lead to hate

I love how so many hard rock and metal fans hate to admit it when a rocker affirmatively sings about God. ;)

Anyway, I think PaleVengeance is probably right on the money here. I know that Freddie had some rather unique religious beliefs, but wasn't a Christian.

And in response to Decapsuleur, you're wrong. Freddie's AIDS sentence really gave him all the more reason to become religious. He was obviously thinking a lot about what would happen when he died. Where he would go, etc. And I think he really wanted to make ammends with the world and be the best person he could be before death. Particularly as a child, he was actually a very religious person (not a Christian, but a Zoroastrian).

No, I don't believe he was religious, as in religion being rules and stuff, which doesn't really do anything. But I really feel he had a relationship with the living God, and was learning to receive his unconditional love and mercy and grace, which is what he really needed. Religion rules never do anyone any good, and would have screwed Freddie up more, but I feel so much that he was just letting God love him, which would have healed him and strengthened him so much. I feel that he was close to God in the end, and God was very close to him before he died.

And, yeah, as you probably guessed, I believe Freddie is with God right now. Ok, for ages and ages I was telling myself I was making it up because I wanted it to be true, but I came to the point where I realised that was the only thing that could be. And I am moved to think how God cared to tell me that Freddie was with him, something I though he wouldn't have been interested in. But I guess he loves all his kids the same...

Agreed wholeheartedly. I think that, ultimately, Freddie was pleading for acceptance despite his sexual orientation. With this song, he was basically saying, "Instead of trying to use God as justification to discriminate against people (not necessarily just homosexuals, but also Jews, Blacks, etc), let's all recognize that God has a purpose for us all (regardless of our differences) and fulfill it by loving and respecting one another. And living out the amazing life he's given us."
