One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come he to justify comprendere
One man to overthrow cambiare le regole
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 preso nel filo spinato
One man he resists resiste
One man washed on an empty beach gettato su una spiaggia deserta
One man betrayed with a kiss tradito con un bacio
In the name of love!
What more in the name of love?
In the name of love!
What more? In the name of love!
…nobody like you…there’s nobody like you…
Mmm…mmm…mmm…
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
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…
Mmm…mmm…mmm…

MLK was actually shot at 6:01 p.m. local time. Bono has acknowledged the mistake and sometimes sings it as “early evening”

‘One boy washed up on an empty beach.’
