Songwriter: 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 'cause theres
Something inside (so strong)
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres 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 and time, you squander wealth that's mine.My light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Because theres
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters, when they insist were just not good enough.Well, we know better, just look 'em in the eyes and say. "Were gonna do it anyway, were gonna do it anyway Were gonna do it anyway"
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Theres something inside so strong
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong, so wrong
...
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 'cause theres
Something inside (so strong)
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres 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 and time, you squander wealth that's mine.My light will shine so brightly it will blind you
Because theres
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters, when they insist were just not good enough.Well, we know better, just look 'em in the eyes and say. "Were gonna do it anyway, were gonna do it anyway Were gonna do it anyway"
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doin' me wrong, so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone, oh no
Theres something inside so strong
Theres something inside so strong
There's something inside so strong
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
Though youre doing me wrong, so wrong
