There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
Theres a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
This is how shes dying
Shes dying to survive
Dont know what shes 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 didnt 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
Its 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 didnt choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
Hurts like brand-new shoes
