So Strong

Labi Siffre

The higher you build your barriers


The taller I 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


You thought that my pride was gone, oh no


There's something inside so strong


Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong





The more you refuse to hear my voice (ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh)


The louder I will sing


You hide behind walls of Jericho (ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh ooh-weh)


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


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


Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong





Brothers and sisters, when they insist we're just not good enough


Well we know better, just look him in his 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


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, oh no


There's something inside so strong





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, oh no


There's something inside so strong


Oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong


(Oh oh oh) oh oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong


Oh oh-oh-oh-oh, something inside so strong
