Pearls (Feat. Dobet Gnahore)

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's alive She's dying to survive I 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 Yes it hurts like brand new shoes Yes it hurts like brand new shoes There is a woman in wonder The sun shows 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 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 wonder There is a woman in something There is a woman in congo And it hurts like brand new shoes Hallelujah
