Pride
Kevin Walker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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 tha name of love
oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
The song "Pride (In the Name of Love)" by Kevin Walker is a tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for civil rights. The lyrics of the song are poignant and filled with symbolism. The first verse talks about how one man (King) came in the name of love, to justify and overthrow the discrimination and oppression he saw around him. The chorus reflects on this, asking what more could be done in the name of love.
The second verse takes a darker turn, talking about the struggles and sacrifices King faced in his fight. One man is caught on a barbed wire fence, another is washed up on an empty beach, and yet another is betrayed with a kiss. These images highlight the violence, persecution, and treachery that often accompany any quest for justice. The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the importance of continuing to work for love and justice in the face of adversity.
The final verse specifically refers to the assassination of King, which occurred on April 4, 1968. The line "shot rings out in the Memphis sky" is a reference to this tragic event. However, the last line offers hope, stating that while they may have taken his life, they were unable to take away his pride. Through all of his struggles, King remained committed to his vision of a more just and equal society, and his legacy lives on.
