There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls by the roadside
There's a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
That is how she lives her life
She's dying to survive
I don't know what she's 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

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 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

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
