The higher you build your barrier
The taller I'll become
The further 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
Oh, you thought that my pride was gone
There's something inside so strong
Oh there's something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho
And your lies will come tumbling

Deny my place in time
You swander wealth that's mine
But my light will shine so brightly
It will shine over you
There's something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
Oh, you thought that my pride was gone
There's something inside so strong
Oh there's something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
(Not good enough, ooh)
But we know better (yes, we know better)

Just look 'em in the eyes and say
We're gonna do it anyway
We're gonna do it anyway
(Do it anyway)

There's something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though you're doing me wrong, so wrong
Oh, you thought that my pride was gone
There's something inside so strong
Oh there's something inside so strong
