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
I AM!!! We are honored to sing with this beautiful, enlightened powerhouse tomorrow at the Agape Intl. Spiritual Ctr in L.A., CA -- Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith (Saban Theater both services) -- If anyone is in our area, please come by and play with us!! She's singing THIS song too!!!Blessings & Abundance💙💕💕😄
The way this song pushed me through my final year of varsity. I was pregnant , alone and emotional. Came out a cum laude student and top 3 in the course.

Heee! :-) Ngizophumelela Ngizofikelela Ngizophikelela Hele le le iyo! Ngizophumelela Ngizofikelela Ngizophikelela Ngeke bangiqede mamhlanje
This song needs to be sung from all corners of this planet more than anything right now! People need to come together to fight the evils that plague this planet. Together we are United, together we are all so so strong!
No matter how broken or how discouraged I feel, the minute I listen to this song, I instantly remember that I am a Queen and a warrior. After listening to it, I feel like I can take on the world. It has literally got me through a four year degree and I'm so grateful to Lira. Her performance and the soul she puts into this song is everything🙌❤
Love Lira, but here the audience really does it for me. As an African American, I congratulate you on your reclaiming your nation. I can see the love you have for it in your faces. May things continually get better and stronger. Amandla
Indeed it's the audience that are the evidence of the success this song celebrates. Rediscovering this beautiful and uplifting message in Corona times....
I was in Kimberly,SA on Easter weekend and went to the festival show and this beautiful lady ,Lira gave my an electrical shock in my body when she was performing and I said to myself I will always listen to her music she is a real star 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Owh! man man man... every time i listen to this song, it stir something inside...yaz!!! I went through some biggy things in my life, my problem of alcohol abuse almost destroyed my life. But even back then when I listen this song I knew I will make it, gonna do it anyway!. I'm no longer drinking alcohol, no longer smoking... I promised myself I'll keep my head up and look forward to the bright future.
Something inside so strong is none other the holy spirit of God believe it or not God is also that light that shines so bright inside of each one of us humanity Colossians1:27 Christ in you the hope of glory.
My son now draws inspiration from this amazing song in his fight for equal opportunity in South Africa. He does not get the same opportunities as others but he is making it anyway. He will succeed no matter what challenge or discriminatory legislation is put in his way.
The song reminds me of when I was going through a difficult time in 2016. I never lost faith and kept working towards achieving my dreams. I'm glad I never gave up because now I'm living my best life.
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.
When I hear this song, I close my eyes and envisage in my minds eye, people from every nation around the World gathered together outside, joining hands and singing this song at the same time no matter what the time of day or night it is in their country. Everyone coming together no matter their race, as ONE. ❤ We are all God's creation, we should ALL LOVE one another as God intended. God Bless you all ❤
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.
when I'm feeling down stressed i will put this song and sing it before i know it got strength to carry on, my mood changes there and there, u the best Lira

I love you Lira, your song is giving me goosebumps. I really enjoyed your show at Emperors Palace in December 2017, You lifted up my spirit.

Like that.👍

She's the living proof that something inside so strong. She's Powerful and Beautiful ❤❤
The way this song pushed me through my final year of varsity. I was pregnant , alone and emotional. Came out a cum laude student and top 3 in the course.
And now Lira ‘s life itself is a role model.
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! :-)

This song reminds me of my late brother, I remember how excited he was introducing it to me.😢❤ May his soul rest in peace.🕊
This song needs to be sung from all corners of this planet more than anything right now! People need to come together to fight the evils that plague this planet. Together we are United, together we are all so so strong!
One day i will be lucky enough to go to see this lady. I pray so.
Have you gotten the opportunity yet?
I’m so curious as well, I hope he does 🥺🤍
