Something Inside So Strong
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 because 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)
There's something inside so strong
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
A light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Because 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)
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters, if they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better, look them in the eye and say:
"We're gonna do it anyway"
