Comment on the song from Songfact . com : " Bono is speaking about those throughout history who have died because they preached of the equality of all men and practiced nonviolence as the only way to achieve their goal of having this equality universally recognized . MLK is the primary example of nonviolent resistance as the only way to bring about changes in civil rights . But there are allusions to others ; Christ for example . The song is about singular " people " ( including Christ as man ) that lived their life with pride . Not in a boastful way , but with the pride a person has when their thoughts and actions are motivated by their understanding and full awareness of the dignity and sanctity of ALL human life . The song is a tribute or illustration or reminder to us , of martyrs to this ideal . It speaks to how they lived their life with an inner Pride in all of humanity . "
