Lyrics to Labi Siffre song "Something Inside So Strong:"
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
Coz 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.
Something Inside So Strong.
The more you refuse to hear my voice
The louder I will sing,
You hide behind walls of Jericho -
You're 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 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
Something Inside So Strong.
Brothers and Sisters!
When they insist we're just not good enough
When we know better,
Look 'em in the eyes and say
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,
There's something inside so strong
Something Inside So Strong.
