The lyrics of the song

One man come in the name of love

In the name of love

One man come and go.

What more in the name of love.

One man come he to justify

In the name of love

In the name of love What more in the name of love.

In the name of love

One man to overthrow.

What more in the name of love.

In the name of love

Early morning, April four

What more in the name of love.

Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.

In the name of love

Free at last, they took your life

What more in the name of love.

They could not take your pride.

One man caught on a barbed wire fence

In the name of love

One man he resist

What more in the name of love.

One man washed up on an empty beach

In the name of love

One man betrayed with a kiss.

What more in the name of love.

What more in the name of love

• The song “Pride (in the name of love)” didn’t win any award.

OPINION ABOUT THE SONG The song makes me feel sad because someone murdered a good man who tried to help humanity. The song also makes me think about the people who don’t have rights and the ones who try to save these people.

Everyone deserves the right not to be judged for the colour of their skin.
