Why did a lady from one of the programs that Relisha was in at the shelter. Was quoted in a Washington Post article saying Relisha would jump to her feet and belt their motivational song out whenever it would come....Watch, listen to the words, & tell me why an 8 year old girl...had to relate to this song???? Because it was her life....beyond speechless!!! "Labi Siffre - Something Inside So Strong" on YouTube:

Relisha, we are searching high & low...trying to filter through all of the nuisance & find you little one.
Here are the words just in case because I haven't figured out how to correctly add a link....I'm a newbie.
The higher you build your barriers 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
I know that I can make it
But you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so stro.o.ong
there's something inside so strong
The more you refuse to hear my voice the louder I will sing
You hide behind walls of Jericho, your lies will come tumbling
Deny my place in time, you squander wealth that's mine
My light will shine so brightly, it will blind you 'cause there's
Something inside so strong
I know that I can make it
But you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
theres something inside so strong
(chorus with a bit more umph)
Something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
But you're doing me wrong so wrong
You thought that my pride was gone
Oh, no, something inside so strong
theres something inside so strong
Brothers and sisters
When they insist we're just good not enough
When we know better
Just look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
I'm gonna do it anyway
Because there's something inside so strong
And I know that I can make it
But you're doing me so wrong
Oh, no, something inside so strong
there's something inside so strong
