Pearls
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 lives her life She is dying to survive I don't know what she's made of But I would like to be that brain She cries to the heavens above There's 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 There is a woman in Rwanda The sun shows her no mercy The same sky we lay under It burns her to the bone Long is afternoon shadows It's gonna take her to get home Each gray carefully wrapped up Pearls for her little girl Songtexte Hallelujah, Hallelujah She cries to the heavens above There's 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 There was a womanin Somalia There was a woman in Rwanda There was a woman in Tibet There is a woman in a Congo And she hurts like brand new shoes Hallelujah, Hallelujah Ohhh Hallelujah, Hallelujah [African words sung] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Aus Songtexte Mania
