    I remember the taxi that I was in playing this song, back in 2004 as a single mother of a few months old baby girl. I was unemployed, living at home with my parents, I was on my way to the department of labour to look for employment opportunities. Today, my daughter is 20 years old. I still have a long way to go but at least I’m heading somewhere, I have since gotten married, I have roof over my head, I’m employed, I drive. I have a dredger…I remember how this sing motivated and encouraged me that day

    The higher you build your barrier
    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 (this must be also called vim)
    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 (u-way u-way u-way u-way :-D)
    The louder I will sing (uuuu)
    You hide behind Walls of Jericho (u-way u-way u-way u-way :-D)
    Your lies will come tumbling down
    Deny my place and time
    You squander wealth that's mine
    My light will shine
    So bright... 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 so strong
    Something inside so strong...
    Oh yeah!
    ...Brothers and sisters
    When they insist we're just not good enough
    Well we know better
    Just look them in the eye 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 ay ay ay! Heee! :-)
    Ngizophumelela
    Ngizofikelela

    This is one for my country, Zimbabwe, touching. We are having to fight our own people, battles we really shouldn't be fighting. All we ask is that the work of my very own hands and my industry determine my success or failure in life. What to do when your own govt and people build barriers to your existence? Deny you your birthright as they store away the riches of my land far far away for the benefit of their own offspring to the exclusion of mine? Something inside of me is soo strong, l may be crushed today, but l stand by the side waiting for the peoples' moment and when it comes, we will cease it and people will have to pay for what they have done and continue to do to us. Quite right, sizophumelela (sp).. Thank you Lira.

    As a simple old Gay human, wow! First time I heard this song was in 1987, during the choas in the world byibi Siffre. Stopped me in my tracks, how in the choas how we were so connected by truth of submission of those telling us we were not enough! Not knowing in that time we had it, and we're more than eough! And yet it's 2024 and here we all are here fighting to just live. Love who you love, be the best of you, but told your not good enough by their standards. Thank you for giving a old Gay Man a reason to believe in living again. The battle seems never over. But I remember the first time I heard this song, and it sparked the light in me like the first time to grab my cane and fight again.
