Pearls — текст песни (Sade)

There is a woman in somalia
Scraping for pearls on the roadside
There`s a force stronger than nature
Keeps her will alive
That`s how she`s dying
She`s dying to survive
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

Hurts like brand-new shoes

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 shaddows
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 a life she didn`t choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes
