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 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?
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 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?

This song is definitely about MLK and Christ. They both made the ultimate sacrifice all "in the name of love." What more will be done before the world is at peace? Who else acting for love alone will be brought down? Another powerful message from U2....
Im just guessing, "One man washed on an empty beach" any relation to Noahs ark if the lyrics relate to biblical stories, <br />
I have no idea what this song is about. The pride, I assumed was MLK's, but then it sounds like the person who killed him, so it makes no sense to me. <br /> <br /> Beyond, 'what more in the NamE of love?' it seems to say little. Unless MLK became prideful... i don't know, like I said. Mystery.
I think it means pride as in dignity. "They took your life but they could not take your pride". Even though MLK faced violence and hatred he always fought back with love, praying for those who used him badly (keeping his dignity). Great song.
