A tender pastoral part song (or "glee") by William Paxton based on the poem by Ambrose Philips.

The higher you build your barriers, the taller I become, the further 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...  moreThe higher you build your barriers, the taller I become, the further 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, Oh, something inside so Strong, The more you refuse to hear my voice, the louder I will sing, you hide behind the walls of Jericho, your lies will come tumbling down, deny my place in, you squander wealth that's mine, my light will shine, so brightly 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 for, oh no, there's something inside so Strong, oh, something inside so Strong) ×2 Brothers and sisters, when they insist you're just not good enough, when we know better, just look em in the eyes and say, we're gonna do it anyway, w...    less

Membership is open to anyone with or without choral experience. We aim for high standards, and of course Strong singers are always valued – but you don’t have to be able to read music, and there are no auditions.
