There is a woman in somalia
|
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
|
There's a force stronger than nature
|
Keeps her will alive
|
That's 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 shaddows
|
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 a life she didn't choose
|
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
|
