Pearls

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

But I would like to be that brain

She cries to the heavens above

There's 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

It burns her to the bone

Long is afternoon shadows

It's gonna take her to get home

Each gray carefully wrapped up

Pearls for her little girl

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

She cries to the heavens above

There's 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 was a woman in Somalia

There was a woman in Rwanda

There was a woman in Sudan

There is a woman in a Congo

And she hurts like brand new shoes

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ohhh

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[African words sung]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
