No matter what people do or say How they try to cut you down to size You have your beliefs, live your life your way Their actions you will come to despise The more they try to hurt you Try and bounce back from the fall To your conscience you must be true There’ll be battles but they wont win them all Your positive attitude will shine right through Rise above negativity is what we must all do Contest:-Songs of Power Chosen song - Something inside so strong by Labi Siffre Sponsor:- Silent One 11~09~15

Ignore the naysayers Jan for they are envious. I have to go listen to the song...I was thinking of he Crowded House song "Something So Strong"
