...Lewisham And Greenwich NHS Choir - (Something Inside) So Strong

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
Something inside's so strong
Something inside's 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
Something inside's so strong
Something inside's so strong

Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just not good enough
Well we know better
Just look him in the eye and say
We're going do it anyway
We're going do it anyway
We're going 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
Something inside's so strong
Something inside's so strong
Something inside's so strong
