Name of Love

 

Jetliners coming down from the sky

We swore the dream would never die

But we started to panic and we lost track

And slowly slowly we turned our backs

Well a man once told me don’t you look away

But these problems are calling and they just don’t fade

And they’ve been talking in codes all around me

And I thought we were the land of the free?

 

Chorus:

And I’ve seen so much hate in the name of love

So much hate in the name of love

I’ve seen so much – so much hate – hey

So much hate in the name of love

So much hate in the name of love

I’ve seen so much – so much hate

 

Gunrunners going out of control

While we melt the South Pole

Did you see the dream slip out of sight

When you cling to the left or you cling to the right?

Well today it’s such a close call to make

When you erase the line between the church and state

And you’re setting up freedom’s fall

When you’ve got holy rollers making the calls

 

Chorus

 

Wo-oh hey in the name of love

Wo-oh hey in the name of love

Well didn’t you look? Didn’t you see?

That soldier dying, he was younger than me

Well I did look, yeah I did read that soldier dying

He was younger than me – yeah

 

Solo

Chorus

 

Jetliners coming down from the sky

But baby girl don’t let the dream die

You better open, you better open your eyes

Open your eyes, open your eyes

In the name of love

In the name of love

In the name of love

We’ve got to stop in the name of love
