begin sarcasm Boy! Isn't it great how far companies have gone in pushing their products upon us everywhere? end sarcasm Roger is bringing up two kinds of miracles here. False miracles, those are the miracles of commercializing and organized religion, and true miracles, people being able to achieve something inspite of everything against them. The commercializing parts are obvious. They had sex in Pennsylvania, I believe that alludes to The Scarlet Letter, A Brazilian grew a tree is about the destruction of the rain forests for commerical gain and those who attempt to rebuild what has been destroyed by the corporations, and a doctor in Manhattan is probably about a doctor in Hell's Kitchen saving a dying man for free despite how ridiculous and expensive the health care system has become today. The Garden of Gethsemene is a religous undertone, The Lord said Peter I can see your house from here is probably about the religious fundamentalists that care more about getting into heaven than anything else so they basically believe that they have some kind of house reserved for them up there in heaven. The farmer in Ohio is about the plight of farmers. Roger just hates Lloyd-Webber. So all in all, the song is about real miracles versus the false miracles of commercial civilization and religious miracles.
