Pearls |
| There is a woman in Somalia |
| Scraping for pearls by the roadside |
| There is a force stronger than nature |
| Keeps her will alive |
| That is how she lives her life |
| She is dying to survive |
| I don’t know what she is made of |
| I would like to be that brave |
| She cries to the heavens above |
| There is a stone in my heart |
| She lives a life she didn’t choose |
| And it hurts like brand new shoes |
| Yes it hurts like brand new shoes |
| And it hurts like brand new shoes |
| There is a woman in Rwanda |
| The sun shows her no mercy |
| The same sky we lay under |
| Burns her to the bone |
| Long as afternoon shadows |
| Is gonna take her to get home |
| Each grain carefully wrapped up |
| Bows for her little girl |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| She cries to the heavens above |
| There is a stone in my heart |
| She lives a life she didn’t choose |
| And it hurts like brand new shoes |
| Yes it hurts like brand new shoes |
| And it hurts like brand new shoes |
| There is a woman in Somalia |
| There is a woman in Rwanda |
| There is a woman in Sudan |
| There is a woman in the Congo |
| And she hurts like (And she hurts like, And she hurts like) |
| Brand new shoes |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
