Pearls

There is a woman in Somalia

Scraping for pearls on the road side

There’s a force stronger than nature

Keeps her will alive

This is how she is dying

She is dying to survive

Don’t know what she is made of

I would like to be so brave

She cries to the heaven above

There is a storm in my heart

She lives a live 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 after the shadows

Is gonna take her to come home

Each grain carefully raped up

Pears for her little girl

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

She cries to the heaven above

There is a storm in my heart

She lives in a world she didn’t choose

And it hurts like brand new shoes

Hurts like brand new shoes
