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
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong
Something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You're hiding behind the 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
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Something inside so strong
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

We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway

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