Pearls |
| There is a woman in Somalia |
| Scraping for pearls on the roadside |
| There’s a force stronger than nature |
| Keeps her will alive |
| This is how she’s dying |
| She’s dying to survive |
| Don’t know what she’s made of |
| I would like to be that brave |
| She cries to the heaven above |
| There is a stone in my heart |
| She lives a life she didn’t choose |
| And it hurts like brand-new shoes |
| Hurts like brand-new shoes |
| There is a woman in Somalia |
| The sun gives her no mercy |
| The same sky we lay under |
| Burns her to the bone |
| Long as afternoon shadows |
| It’s gonna take her to get home |
| Each grain carefully wrapped up |
| Pearls for her little girl |
| Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah |
| She cries to the heaven above |
| There is a stone in my heart |
| She lives in a world she didn’t choose |
| And it hurts like brand-new shoes |
| Hurts like brand-new shoes |
