So Strong (something inside)

Forgive me You Tube for I have sinned. It has been 3 weeks since my last upload.

We live in interesting times where disaster seems to follow disaster. This is my small and pathetically inadequate way of empathising with those suffering in Japan and elsewhere. Ordinary people are digging deep for some inner strength in countries ruled by fear and this song has always spoken to me of the triumph of human spirit against all odds.

It was written by Labi Siffre in 1987 as an anthem against racism but has recently become a favourite for Irish rebel singers like Gary Og and
Terry O' Neill. There's a great Buddha quote towards the end too.
