Pride (in The Name Of Love)
U2One come in the name of love
One man come and
One man come he to
One man to
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a wire
One man he resist
One man up on an empty
One man 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 , April four
Shot in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they your
They not take your
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
‘Pride (In The Name Of Love),’ was a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King. The civil rights pioneer was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
Though initially written as a song condemning president Ronald Reagan and his pride in the military strength of the U.S., a visit to an MLK exhibit at the Chicago Peace Museum in 1983 along with a couple of books that Bono had been reading at the time, one on Martin Luther King and Malcom X, altered the lyrics.
The song contains the erroneous reference to King's shooting as "Early morning, April 4," when it actually occurred after 6 p.m. Bono acknowledges the error and in live performances he occasionally changes the lyric to "Early evening...."

The king was overthrown in a military coup.
Make a very loud noise
They killed you
A sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect
to free from the guilt of sin
To be brought to shore by the tide
To be be disloyal
Charles I of England was executed for betraying his country.
