Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "One Vision" by Queen Paul Rodgers reflect universal values and ideals such as unity, hope, and faith in a brighter future. The song is an anthem to a world without borders, discrimination, or conflict, where people come together under one divine light and one vision. The lyrics open with an acknowledgment of the mystery of God's work, which implies that human beings can only aspire to follow a higher purpose and vision. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "one vision," which symbolizes the ultimate goal of humanity to transcend differences and divisions and achieve a common destiny.


The verses develop the theme of "one vision" by emphasizing the oneness of humanity, regardless of race, religion, or ideology. The lines "One flesh one bone/ One true religion" suggest that beneath the surface differences, all human beings share a common humanity and a common faith. The song also acknowledges the challenges and obstacles that stand in the way of unity, as in the lines "But a cold wind blows/ And a dark rain falls." Nevertheless, the song ends on a note of hope and determination, as the singer asks for people's hands and hearts to join him in pursuing the "one vision" of a world without hate, fight or division.
