Queen Talks
"No, actually, I think, that was one of the songs where we all contributed. It’s actually the closest we’ve ever actually been, in terms of actually writing together. And that’s quite true. Before we’ve actually had individual songs that we sort of put about and bring to the other people and the others put there sort of… a bit seen it. But I think, from the start, these tracks are sort of actually emerged by the four of us. That’s why I think this album has got all tracks written by Queen. But lyrically, going back to The Miracle, I think, the four of us really put everything into it, because I mean, somebody would come with one line and say 'Oh, that’s terrible!' – and change it, and, so… in fact, I mean, in one way, I hate that, because after keep singing different lyrics every day, until we sort of agree on the final one… I’d say, lyrically 'The Miracle' is a definite four way split."
Freddie Mercury - 29/05/1989, BBC Radio One (interview with Mike Read)
"We got pasted to the wall for this in England. Everybody hated it, for some reason. It's very uncool to be idealistic in Britain, I suppose, at the moment, and they said 'How can they talk about peace', and all that sort of stuff, then of course, China happened and everything. It seems very relevant to us."
Brian May - 1989, Hard 'n' Heavy
"'The Miracle' track, which is mainly Freddie, is a small masterpiece in its own way."
Brian May - October 1994, Guitar Magazine

Lyrics
Every drop of rain that falls in Sahara Desert says it all
It's a miracle
All God's creations great and small
The Golden Gate and the Taj Mahal
That's a miracle
Test tube babies being born
Mothers,fathers dead and gone
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
The wonders of this world go on
The hanging Gardens of Babylon
Captain Cook and Cain and Able
Jimi Hendrix to the Tower of Babel
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing we're all waiting for is peace on earth - an end to war
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle we're all waiting for today
If every leaf on every tree could tell a story that would be a miracle
If every child on every street had clothes to wear and food to eat
That's a miracle
If all God's people could be free to live in perfect harmony
It's a miracle
We're having a miracle on earth
Mother nature does it all for us
Open hearts and surgery
(wonders of this world go on)
Sunday mornings with a cup of tea
Super powers always fighting
But Mona Lisa just keeps on smiling
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
(wonders of this world go on)
It's a miracle it's a miracle it's a miracle
It's a miracle
The one thing (the one thing) we're all waiting for (we're all waiting for)
Is peace on earth (peace on earth) and an end to war (an end to war)
It's a miracle we need - the miracle
The miracle peace on earth and end to war today
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
That time will come one day you'll see when we can all be friends
