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
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 Explain Request ×
