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
