Something Inside 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
