歌词
[Verse 1]
Well, as y'all know the news
[Verse 2]
It's always, uh, a source of, uhm
Pain it seems these days, you know?
[Verse 3]
So, we'll lift this up as a little prayer
[Verse 4]
I've got something to say that you might not like
But I can't hide anymore, my friend
I've been laying myself down like a rug for you
Thinking that that was the way to get love from you
[Verse 5]
In the name of love, the cruelest of things can transpire
In the name of love, the baby can burn in the fire
In the name of love, the mother can turn to a liar
In the name of love, may we please trust in something that's higher?
[Verse 6]
I have lived as though I were no sinner
Thinking for oh, so long, that I was just a beginner
Blinding myself to the cruelties I witnessed
All in the name of love, and peace, and forgiveness
[Verse 7]
In the name of love, the cruelest of things can transpire
In the name of love, the baby was burned in the fire
In the name of love, the lover was turned to a liar
In the name of love, may we please trust in something that's higher?
[Verse 8]
Wars are raging in faraway countries
Fire's raging inside my heart
I fought the good fight and I always was fighting
Till I turned on the light to see what was hiding in the dark
[Verse 9]
In the name of love, the cruelest of things can transpire
In the name of love, the lover can turn to a liar
In the name of love, the lover would burn in the fire
In the name of love, may we please trust in something that's higher?
[Verse 10]
For the flame of love burns bright in each heart forever
And the flame of love is a mystery that holds us together
And the flame of love can burn any lie into kindness
Through the flame of love, we could rise up
[Verse 11]
And leave this behind us
In the name of love
[Verse 12]
Thank you so much
