Sade - Pearls Lyrics






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 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 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 stone in my heart
She lives in a world she didn't choose
And it hurts like brand-new shoes

Hurts like brand-new shoes

    I will and never understand how anyone with working ears could dislike this goddess she is and always a breathe of fresh air, sensuality, metaphors, hidden messages and love if you cannot see that then you are not only sadly deaf, you are also blind😔 forever a sade fan🥰😊

  8. S.... D....

    Everyone can empathize, yet few know the meaning of true struggles. A brilliant depiction of the saddest sorrows of the human struggles to survive,to which most will never really know.

  9. N.... Z....

    This is real poetry, this is timeless music. I bet yu in 30 years from now, it'll still be making sense. Thank you so much Madam Sade, you are healing the world and creating awareness for the helpless, and making those with more in their hands know of their responsibilities to humanitarian responsibilities. Eating and disposing when they full while there are other fellow humans who have nt even had a meal in days.

    ❤️ this song but definitely a sad song❤️ this song helped me to be strong when I was a single mother. Cried to the heavens above many times. Song still hurts.

  38. J.... C....

    She`s in the darkest depths of her soul and a force stronger than nature keeps her will alive. She lives a life she didn`t choose yet is dying to survive. She reminds me of the whole world that suffer and find the strength within to survive. The stone in her heart reminds her that she is alive. Beautifully written, song, music and lyrics showing the power we all have deep within us to survive. Jude Connell
