One of the few songs by Queen whose leader singer is not Freddie Mercury but the drummer and song writer Roger Taylor.
When Taylor started working on the material for the album Shove It, he recruited Freddie Mercury to record the backing vocals on the song. Two versions were recorded, one with Mercury doing only backing vocals to Taylor's lead vocals, and another with Mercury singing the lead vocals.
You can listen to the other version, with Freddie as lead singer here: Heaven for Everyone (Queen)
While you are imagining, imagine for instance,
The sights that you can take advantage of
(In these days)
Look at the beautiful cloud formations below you and above you
(This could be heaven)
Think of the colour of the sun as it shines off the clouds
(This could be heaven)
Or see the stars
In these days of cool reflection
You come to me and everything seems alright
In these days of cold affections
You sit by me and everything's fine
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could be fun
This could be heaven for everyone
This world could be free, this world could be one
In this world of cool deception
Just your smile can smooth my ride
These troubled days of cruel rejection
You come to me, soothe my troubled mind
Yeah, this could be heaven for everyone
This world could be fed, this world could fun
There should be love for everyone
This world could be free, this world could be one
We should bring love to our daughters and sons
Love, love
This could be heaven for everyone
So take a seat and sit by my side a while
You know I like your style
(This could be heaven for everyone)
So what can we do to clean up this mess
Just feel so helpless
(This could be heaven for everyone)
So lift up your voice at least you'll have cared
At least you'll have cared
(This could be heaven for everyone)
Listen. What people do to other souls
They take their lives, destroy their goals
Their basic pride and dignity
Is stripped and torn and shown no pity
When this should be heaven for everyone
In these days
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone<
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone
(This could be heaven, could be heaven for everyone)

COOL REFLECTION= A REFLECTION may be an opinion based on careful thinking, and COOL is "a bit cold" (also emotionally). Feelings of love and compassion are said to be "warm", so "a cool reflection" is an opinion which is without love.
