Songs That Changed the World--The Most Important Songs of the Rock Era: "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by U2

It should be obvious to all that Martin Luther King had it right.  When a band like U2 in Ireland can hear his message, you know the things he stood for were profound and life-changing.  Sure, some people felt threatened by King but we now see that those people were insignificant compared to King and the larger goal--the pureness of spirit that he stood for.  For it's not the individual but the idea that is important.  King's dream lives on and in fact is being lived, despite what you may read or hear in the media.

"Pride (In the Name of Love)"

by U2

Words by Bono, Music by Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen, Jr.

One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come here 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 4
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
