Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: So Strong (by Labi Siffre)
Subject: RE: LABI SIFFRE
This is one of my all-time favourite songs - and I have heard him sing it live several times. Excellent. Every time I hear it I try to remember a bit more of it, but I'm afraid my memory's full of holes...

As far as I remember : (not necessarily in this order)

The higher you build your barriers The higher I shall climb The further you take my rights away The further I shall run

You can deny me You can decide to take my rights away No matter

There's something inside so strong I know that I can make it Tho you're doing me wrong so wrong You thought that my pride was gone, oh no There's something in side so strong.

The .... .... You hide behind walls of Jericho Your lies will come tumbling .....

turn your face away ..

brothers and sisters when they insist we're just not good enough ....

we'll look them in the eye and say We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway

There's somethin inside so strong etc etc.

Hopefully someone else will fill in the blanks - or give us the full & proper version (hope).
