U2: Pride in the Name of Love

 

Song Factoids: The morning after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated, I remember my mother crying. 

Note that lyrics to this classic U2 song say, "Early morning, April 4, Shot rings out..." Actually it was early evening and Bono later realized the error and the band sometimes changes the line to, "Early evening... And Chrissie Hynde sings background vocals. Who knew?  

Pride in the Name of Love (U2)

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go.
One man come he to justify
One man to overthrow.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed up on an empty beach
One man betrayed with a kiss.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.

In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
