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's alive
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 heaven 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
Yes it hurts like
brand new shoes
There is a woman in wonder
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 heaven above
There is a stone in my heart
She lives in 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 somalia
There is a woman in wonder
There is a woman in something
There is a woman in congo
And it hurts like
brand new shoes
Hallelujah
