In the Name of Love

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

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 mother was turned to a liar
In the name of love may we please trust in something that's higher?

I have lived as though I was 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

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 lover can turn to a liar
In the name of love may we please trust in something that's higher?

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.

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 lover can turn to a liar
In the name of love, may we please trust in something that's higher?

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
And leave this behind us

In the name of love
