7. Pearls 

There is a woman in Somalia 

Scraping for pearls on the roadside 

There's a force stronger than nature 

Keeps her will alive 

This is 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 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 in a world she didn't choose 

And it hurts like brand-new shoes 

Hurts like brand-new shoes
