Pride (In The Name Of Love)
Artist (Band):U2

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

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
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...

Yes...Great man! If you haven't seen the memorial in Atlanta where he is buried, you must go. Amazing. I took the boys 2 years ago and we got to sit in the church where him and his family attended. Went to the house he grew up in. Just a lot of good educational things. Thanks for this and to him for all the great things he did.

may I join with this song from Bette Midler (The Rose) , a tribute to one of the greatest man on earth ,

Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, it's only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the one who wont be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember, in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed, that with the sun's love
In the spring, becomes the rose

Ein Mann, gekommen im Namen der Liebe,
ein Mann kommt und geht.
Ein Mann, gekommen, um Gerechtigkeit zu verlangen.
Ein Mann, um zu verändern.

Im Namen der Liebe.
Was mehr, als im Namen der Liebe.
Im Namen der Liebe.
Was mehr, als im Namen der Liebe.

Ein Mann, gefangen hinter einem Stacheldrahtzaun.
Ein Mann, der sich widersetzt.
Ein Mann, gereinigt an einem leeren Strand.
Ein Mann, betrogen durch einen Kuß.

Im Namen der Liebe.
Was mehr, als im Namen der Liebe.
Im Namen der Liebe.
Was mehr, als im Namen der Liebe.

niemand wie du...

Frühmorgens am 4. April
fällt ein Schuß unter dem Himmel von Memphis.
Letztlich ungestraft nahmen sie dir das Leben.
Deinen Stolz konnten sie dir nicht nehmen.

Im Namen der Liebe.
Einmal mehr im Namen der Liebe.
Im Namen der Liebe.
Was mehr, als im Namen der Liebe...

Oh... how could I miss this? Of course, yes, Sherry - extremely important man! Goes in one breath with Jesus for me - or even before him, because he changed so much devoid of any "supernatural powers" other than his firm faith, his vision, his personal strength, his capability of suffering. What a great role model, if not THE greatest in our time! And a very strong tune to go with it! I'm listening to the song with a totally fresh perspective given the back story. Wow!

Thanks Sherry for sharing.... I saw your post just now!
I am a huge U2 fan and I love this song; I love the passion and the deepness you can feel when you listen to it and I guess it's a small taste of the emotions and the hope that MLK gave to all of you in America, but also to the rest of the world...
Looking forward to see a U2 concert together and sing out loud "....they took your life, they could not take your Pride"!
Warm Kisses!
