Pearls

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
She cries to the heaven above
There is a storm in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose (mmm)
And it hurts like brand-new shoes (ooh)
Hurts like brand-new shoes

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
To the heaven above
To the heaven above

[Chorus]
She cries to the heaven above
There is a storm in my heart
She lives a life she didn't choose (oooh)
Hurts like brand-new shoes (woah)
Hurts like brand-new shoes

[Post-Chorus]
To the heaven above
She cries
To the heaven above

[Outro – instrumental]
