In the Name of Love
Ryan Dolan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I warned you that these fire′s gonna burn
Would you walk in? Would you let me do it first?
Do it all in the name of love
Would you let me lead you even when you blind
In the darkness, in the middle of the night
In the silence, when there's no one by your side
Would you call in the name of love
In the name of love, In the name of love
In the name of love, In the name of love
If I told you we can bathe in all the lights
Would you rise up, come and meet me in the sky
Would you trust me, when you′re jumping off the heights
Would you fall in the name of love
When there's madness, when there's poison in your head
When the sadness leaves you broken in your bed
I will hold you in the depths of your despair
And it′s all in the name of love
In the name of love, In the name of love
In the name of love, In the name of love
I wanna testify
Scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
And it′s all in the name of love
I wanna testify
Scream in the holy light
You bring me back to life
And it's all in the name of love
In the name of love, loveIn the name of love
In the name of love, love
In the name of love
In the name of love
In the name of love
In the name of love, love
