(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 'cause there's

Something inside so strong

I know that I can make it

Though you're doin' me wrong, so wrong

You thought that my pride was gone, oh no

Something inside so strong

Oh, something inside so strong

The more you refuse to hear my voice

The louder I will sing

You hide behind walls of Jericho

Our lives will come tumbling

Deny my place in time

You squander wealth that's mine

My light will shine so brightly it will blind you

'Cause there's

Something inside so strong

So strong

I know that I can make it

Though you're doin' me wrong, so wrong

You thought that my pride was gone, oh no

Something inside so strong

Oh, something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters

When they insist we're just not good enough

But we know better

Just look 'em in the eyes and say

We're gonna do it anyway

Gonna do it anyway

There's something inside so strong

And I know that I can make it

Though you're doin' me wrong, so wrong

You thought that my pride was gone, oh no

There's something inside so strong

Oh, something inside so strong

Brothers and sisters

When they insist we're just not good enough

Well we know better

Just look 'em in the eyes and say

We're gonna do it anyway

Gonna do it anyway

Gonna do it anyway

Gonna do it anyway

Because there's

(Something inside so strong)

Something inside so strong

(I know that I can make it)

I can make it

(Though you're doin' me wrong, so wrong)

You thought that my pride was gone, oh no

Something inside so strong

(Something inside so strong)

(I know that I can make it)

(Though you're doin' me wrong, so wrong)

You thought that my pride was gone, oh no

Something inside so strong

Oh, something inside so strong

Oh, something inside so strong

Something inside so strong
