Pearls

There is a woman in some earth
Scraping for pearls on the wrong side,
There’s a force stronger than nature
That keeps her willing like.

This is how she’s dying, she’s dying to survive
Don’t know what she’s made of,
But 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 chose.

There is a woman on some earth,
The sun gives her no mercy.
The same sky we lay under
Burns her to the bone.

As long as afternoon shadows
It’s gonna take her to get home
Each grain carefully wrapped up
Herceful little girl.

Hallelujah, hallelujah,
She cries to the heavens above
There is a stone in my heart.
She lives a life she didn’t chose.
