Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong Lyrics

The higher you build your barriers the taller I become
The farther you take my rights away the faster I will run
You can deny me, you can decide to turn your face away
No matter 'cause there's

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice the louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho, your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time, you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly, it will blind you 'cause there's

Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Tho' you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh oh oh oh something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just good not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say

I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway

Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me so wrong
Oh, no, something inside so strong
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, something inside so strong
