Queen – One Vision

  General Comment:You guys are way outta my mind.
  All I Heard is "One Vision" instead of "Fried Chicken" at the end of the lyrics.
  Here's My Version:
  
  God works in mysterious ways, mysterious ways
  Ii
  Hey, one man, one goal ha, 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
  Wowowowowowo gimme one vision
  Hey
  
  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 world wide vision
  
  One flesh, one bone
  One true religion
  One race, one hope
  One real decision
  Wowowowowo woh 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, one nation
  Yeah one vision
  
  No hate, no fight
  Just excitation
  All through the night
  It's a celebration
  Wowowowowowo yeah
  One one one one one one one
  (Solo) hey
  
  One flesh, one bone
  One true religion
  One voice, one hope
  One real decision
  
  Gimme one light, yeah
  Gimme one hope, hey
  Just gimme, ha
  One man one man
  One bar one night
  One day hey hey
  Just gimme gimme gimme gimme
  ONE VISION vision vision vision vision vision

    Do you have the Iron Eagle soundtrack version? Because the version on Greatest Hits II definitely says "Fried Chicken". I know that the Iron Eagle version is supposed to be different, but I don't know what the differences are.

    I thought he said "chicken feed babe". "Iron Eagle" was a far-fetched but cool movie.lol.
    Great song! :)

    He says fried chicken at the end because the song has a double meaning. The first time you hear it, you think it's about a man who wants peace and harmony, however when you hear the "fried chicken" at the end you realize that the song can also be interpreted as a man who is really hungry and wants fried chicken

    Alright You Guys, I heard "One Vision" right towards the end of the song.

    No he and Brian May were like joking around and Mercury didn't have anything else to add and said whatever he sang was good enough,or some such thing-it's in the "making of"...

  General Comment:This is basically the kind of song We Are The World should've been. A song promoting world peace and unity, but actually cool.
  
  Possibly my favorite Queen song. Pity it had to come out after their "Heyday" here in the US.

  General Comment:I love this song, and am positive its one big world pease message.
  Thats said I remeber watching a documentry about far right political groups. There was a fascist band on it who did a horrible electronic cover of this song obviously twisting the lyrics into a rascist message about one race etc....really sad to see, jsut thought it might be an interesting point to raise.
  It was sickening to see such a great song being treated like that, cos love the song especially that guitar riff, man that Brian can play hey?!

  General Comment:The chicken line is there because Freddie did it as a joke because they had fried chicken for dinner. Freddie's boyfriend suggested they keep it in, so they did.

  General Comment:fried chicken was probably what he would say when he had the tune but before writing the lyrics.
  
  like mccartney with 'scrambled eggs' instead of 'yesterday'

  General Comment:Yes, Roger said this was originally about Martin Luther King, and then he says what Miss Anie quoted above. Being a vegetarian, I just feel sorry for the chicken.

  General Comment:My favourite Queen song! If there was one song that I would use to sum up all of Queen's fantastic work, it would just have to be this song. They all loved making this song, u can tell from the video.
