Pride
TIESTO VS. U2 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 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?
