Something Inside

Labi Siffre

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, cos 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


Cos 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 x 2


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 not enough


When we know better


Just look 'em in the eyes and say


I'm gonna do it anyway x 4


Because there's something inside so strong


And I know that I can make it


Tho' you're doing me, so wrong


Oh no, something inside so strong


Oh oh oh oh oh something inside so strong
