Pearls - Jessie Ware

There is a woman in Somalia Scraping for pearls on the roadside There's a force stronger than nature Keeps her will alive This is 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 storm 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 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 storm in my heart She lives in a world she didn't choose And it hurts like brand new shoes Hurts like brand new shoes

The thing that I can't quite remember But never forget get get The thing that you can never live with But you can't let go go go The biggest shell in the history Was still tiny for those pearls They couldn't help themselves but break and leave It wasn't about the timing It is firmer than the passion It wasn't about the nature That comfort is larger than most It wasn't about the present It is all about epiphany We are all dying They thank god death is next The one that you don't quite believe But you would never pay pay pay The one that you don't ever tell a lie But you don't speak speak speak The tiniest pearl in the history Was still huge for these shells She couldn't help herself but break and leave It wasn't about the timing It is firmer than the passion It wasn't about the nature That comfort is larger than most It wasn't about the present It is all about epiphany We are all dying They thank god death is soon It wasn't about the timing It is firmer than the passion It wasn't about the nature That comfort is larger than most It wasn't about the present It is all about epiphany We are all dying They thank god death is here
