INDIA.ARIE lyrics : "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 womanin Somalia
There was a woman in Rwanda
There was a woman in Tibet

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
