There is a woman in somalia

Scraping for pearls by the roadside

There's a force stronger than nature

Keeps her will alive

That is how she lives her life

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 heavens 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

There is a woman in rwanda

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 heavens 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

And it hurts like brand-new shoes

Hallelujah

Hallelujah
