This song is awesome. Class of 2013 will be singing it for graduation and at the end we plan to let the congo drums to play in the middle of the opened choir while we sing the chorus. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For all the younger future generations...... children....all the children of the world.. especially the underpriviledged.... today. I too... sing in the spirit of a noble woman, Rosa Parks.
This is a beautiful sight: all God's children, black and white, female and male, gay and heterosexual, singing about the power of God's love and strength within us to overcome all forms of hatred. It is a great feeling to know that we rise above the evil of racism, homophobia, sexism, classism. Sisters and Brothers, Thanks be to God! Alleluia! Alleluia!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPLOADING THIS! I remembered THIS SONG FROM MY CHILDHOOD, I'M CURRENTLY STRUGGLING WITH SOMETHING BUT THE LORD REMINDED ME OF THIS SONG. My biggest difficulty was trying to figure out who was the author of the song when I remembered listening to this song +20 years ago and all I can remember was Yolanda Adams face in the song and thankfully, somehow, I managed to find this video. God bless you for uploading it it really helped me!

A few years ago I designated this song to be our theme song for ourWalls family of Lincoln University, Pa. reunion. Our motto is "Within These Walls". Our African American ancestors settled there in the early 1800's before the first HBCU was established in the country. I know what they had to endure to achieve the milestones necessary to accomplish what they did despite all odds. This song tells it and I want our family, especially the youth to realize it. We must not forget and we must continue what they started for us. We are because they were. Hersey Gray, Sr.
Wow. I forgot about this. This was 90's gospel music. High standard back then. These singers today. I don't even know who the are, and what they singing there's nothing in it
This is beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ I remember when this song first debuted in the 90s. Hearing it now feel so much more powerful. By the grace of God the majority of the singers in the video are still alive with the exception of Daryl coley has gone on to be with the Lord.

Labi Siffre wrote this song to support Nelson Mandela, who lead the fight to end apartheid in South Africa. It was written while Mandela was imprisoned there. Nelson was finally release and went on to become the first non-white President of South Africa. However it can be used as a great motivational song.
This song still inspires. Especially when I see what the republican legislators are doin and are trying to. The higher u build your barriers the taller I'll become, the farther u take my rights away the faster I'll become...come on people become informed voters, the republicans have shown their hand, we know what must be done.
I agree. Sometimes you just need to sing and not over sing and include a bunch of runs.This doesn't touch my heart as much as Labi Siffre's original version. I love to watch his video of the song which is still on youtube.
2004mojo u need 2 stop being a hater and actually listen to the words they did an outstanding job on this song and they did the song justice this track features a lot of gospel greats. By the way there was no over singing its called the spirit, some say the anointing, its that feeling u get when your singing the words of a song and your singing what u feel and what u know, so if thats over singing then yea they did over sing.
2004mojo I have a question for u do u even know what gospel singing is or the feeling it give u, gospel music is more than a bunch of runs, ut what u say in those runs what u mean when your singing gospel the message of the gospel song. There was power in those qoute: "bunch of runs" this was a wonderful tribute to Rosa Parks! So u can just shut your moouth, and dont talk about stuff you have no knowledge of. But in all fairness u r entitled 2 have your own opinion. All have got 2 say is if this song and the words in this song didnt touch your heart than u need to really i mean really talk 2 Jesus.
