Simply, it's about Jesus. I've read it was one of the first (if not THE first) song written specifically for the band. Freddie wasn't Christian, he was Zoroastrian (sp?) so why he wrote a song about Jesus is a mystery, but I doubt that it was a profound religious statement.
@rotherhamkid. Zoroastrians were the Magi or wise men that knew prophesy well enough to seek the messiah in Bethlehem - amazing knowledge and perspective found in their history. Not surprised freddie wrote it.

@rotherhamkid The song was written by Brian May, not Freddie Mercury.

@rotherhamkid I don't think there's a rule that you have to be Christian to write about Jesus.
