Originally released by U2 in their 1984 album The Unforgettable Fire, Pride (In the Name of Love) is about Martin Luther King, Jr. and is one of the band’s most recognized songs.
The Choir’s interpretation of the song is unique with all the usual SGC style. Great song!
Lyrics:
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
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
Repeat Chorus
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
Repeat Chorus
