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

somethin' 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

there's somethin'

inside so strong, oh...

somethin' 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 in time

you squander

wealth that's mine

my light will shine

so brightly

it will blind you

Because there's

somethin' 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

there's somethin'

inside so strong, oh...

somethin' 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

We're gonna do it anyway

we're gonna do it anyway

we're gonna do it anyway...

because there's

somethin' 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

there's somethin'

inside so strong

Somethin' 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

there's somethin'

inside so strong, oh...

somethin' inside so strong

Oh...

somethin' inside so strong

oh...

somethin' inside so strong...
