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 is 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   And it 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   And it hurts like brand new shoes
