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.
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.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love.
Early morning, April 4.
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life,
But they could not take your pride.
In the name of love,
What more in the name of love
