[00:00.00] Pearls
[00:04.40] Sade
[00:06.40]
[00:38.27] There is a woman in Somalia
[00:43.70] Scraping for pearls on the roadside
[00:48.10] There's a force stronger than nature
[00:53.44] Keeps her will alive
[00:58.36] This is how she's dying
[01:02.59] She's dying to survive
[01:07.75] Don't know what she's made of
[01:12.27] I would like to be that brave
[01:15.99]
[01:16.23] She cries to the heaven above
[01:25.82] There is a stone in my heart
[01:35.26] She lives a life she didn't choose
[01:45.15] And it hurts like brand-new shoes
[01:48.11]
[01:53.64] Hurts like brand-new shoes
[01:58.02]
[02:14.64] There is a woman in Somalia
[02:20.30] The sun gives her no mercy
[02:24.35] The same sky we lay under
[02:29.45] Burns her to the bone
[02:33.47] Long as afternoon shadows
[02:38.50] It's gonna take her to get home
[02:43.76] Each grain carefully wrapped up
[02:48.67] Pearls for her little girl
[02:52.69]
[02:53.24] Hallelujah
[03:00.41] Hallelujah
[03:08.49]
[03:11.10] She cries to the heaven above
[03:21.08] There is a stone in my heart
[03:30.38] She lives in a world she didn't choose
[03:39.59] And it hurts like brand-new shoes
[03:48.69] Hurts like brand-new shoes
[03:54.63]
