One man come in the name of love,
One man come and go,
One man come, he to justify,
One man to overthrow.
Chorus:
In the name of love
What more, in the name of love?
One man caught in a barbed-wire fence,
One man he resist,
One man washed on an empty beach,
One man betrayed with a kiss.
(Chorus)
Early morning, April 4,
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky,
Free at last, they took your life,
They could not take your pride.
(Chorus)
