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's made of
|
I would like to be that brave
|
|
CHORUS
|
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
|
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
|
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 x 8
