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!
One man 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 resists
One man washed on an empty beach One man betrayed with a kiss[1]
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
...nobody like you...there's nobody like you...
Mmm...mmm...mmm... Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky[2]
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...
[1] Refers to Jesus. [2] Refers to the killing of Martin Luther King on April 4, 1968.
Memphis is the location of Graceland, which was the home of Elvis. Elvis is considered to be the King. Martin Luther King was murdered in Memphis. It is probably no coincidence that also Jesus was considered to be a king.
