Dobet Gnahoré - Pearls lyrics

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 is made of I would like to be that brave 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 Is gonna take her to get home Each grain carefully wrapped up Bows for her little girl Hallelujah, Hallelujah 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 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, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
