Heaven for Everyone is a song written by Roger Taylor. It appeared originally in his band's The Cross album Shove It, with Freddie Mercury as a guest vocalist, and it's the album's 4th track. It was reworked with Queen's music and appeared in the album Made In Heaven, where it was the 7th track and released as the first single. The single reached #2 on the charts in the UK.
The music video for The Cross version involved Roger singing the song on a beach-like setting, while old people walked past the band and climbed up ladders to reach heaven.
