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 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 The louder I will sing You hide behind Walls of Jericho Your lies will come tumbling Deny my place and 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 There's something inside so strong 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 eye and say We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway We're gonna do it anyway 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 There's something inside so strong There's something inside so strong There's something inside so strong Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You're doing me wrong so wrong Something inside so strong Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You're doing me wrong so wrong Something inside so strong Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You're doing me wrong so wrong Something inside so strong Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you're doing me wrong so wrong You're doing me wrong so wrong Something inside so strong Something inside so strong I know that I can make it

Life can be funny Sometimes a shame Making the same mistakes again and again It isn't easy being a man For a woman it's harder Try it in the Sudan And when you're winning and when you've won You turn around ... your problems just begun And when you're losing and when you've lost You turn around ... it wasn't worth the cost How did we make it... It's a mystery We're getting better... That's news to me Are we defeated... Huh! Defeated like hell We may be losers... But we'll never tell Nothin's Gonna Change But we don't give in Nothin's Gonna Change Take it on the chin Nothin's Gonna Change Keep that silly grin Nothin's Gonna Change The only way to win World wars are over One and two Others are raging still just like brand new The Big Band is with us It's here to stay Unless the Martians come to take it away My TV dinner shows a starving face The kicked a man to death outside my place We strangle nature We murder the trees Forgetting we need the trees to breathe

Sitting in the back seat of my car With my arms around my guitar And the rain falls from the roof of the world Nothing around just the trees and the ground There's a bird in a tree singing a song just for me, just for me Ah, Da da da La da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da Da da, Da da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da Da da, Da da da I've been down for oh so long It seemed like my soul was dead and gone But it's alright - I'm back in the fight I thought my day would never come Maybe it won't but I'll have fun And I'll hold tight 'cause that way it might La da da, Da da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da Da da, Da da da Oh I know I'll be down again with my old friend This friendship never ends The blues is always the same, the blues is always the same Well I don't know just where I am I'm a nowhere man I'm a Desperate Dan But I'll find out - maybe if I shout Give me your hand I'll give you my mind It's a fair exchange if your deaf, dumb and blind And we're sold out well that's what it's all about La da da, Da da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da Da da, Da da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da La da da, Da da da Da da, Da da da Ah-ahh

It's nice to hear your voice again I've waited all day long Even wrote a song for you It's strange, the way you make me feel With just a word or two I'd like to do the same for you It's nice to hear you say hello And "how are things with you - I love you" But very soon it's time to go An office job to do While I'm here writing songs for you Strange how a phonecall can change your day Take you away Away from the feeling of being alone Bless the telephone It's nice, the way you say my name Not very fast or slow, just soft and low The same as when you tell me how you feel I feel the same way too I'm very much in love with you

This is my song And no one can take it away It's been so long But now you're here Here to stay And I wonder If you know what it means To find your dreams come true This is my song And no one can make it a lie It's been so long Since someone Could make me cry And I wonder If you know what it means To laugh as tears go by I may not always sing in tune And sometimes you don't hear me But you don't have to be near me To know that I'm singing This is my song And nothing Can make it die It's been so long And it's stronger I know why And I wonder If you really Really know That as long As I live I will sing my song for you I may not always sing in tune And sometimes you don't hear me But you don't have to be near me To know that I'm singing This is my song And nothing can make it die It's been so long And it's stronger I know why And I wonder If you really Really know That as long As I live I will sing my song That as long As I live I will sing my song That as long As I live I will sing my song for you
