Song: Pride (In the Name of Love) - U2

Even 40 years after his assassination in Tennessee, Martin Luther King's words and ideas still echo and inspire us all. This is U2's tribute to one of the greatest men of our time and one of the world's most important civil rights activists.



One man come in the name of love
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
What more 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

(nobody like you...)

Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
