Answer 1

Yes, it's Labi Siffre's "Something inside so Strong". Wikipedia gives this info about him:

"Labi Siffre (born June 25, 1945) is an English poet, songwriter and singer...

His 1987 hit "(Something Inside) So Strong", which reached No. 4, an anti Apartheid anthem and more, has remained enduringly popular and is an example of the political and sociological thread running through much of Siffre’s lyrics and poetry since the single “Thank Your Lucky Star” and the album “For the Children” (1973). It won the Ivor Novello Award for "Best Song Musically and Lyrically", and has been used in Amnesty International campaigns, a television advertisement and Alice Walker's film against female genital mutilation: Warrior Marks. His stance on civil and human rights has further enhanced his reputation."
