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

Clean heart Clean and sharp Clean dream Bad start He loved his brother and his sister Luke and Tony called him mister They made him feel much more Like a man He loved his daddy, though he never told him And how he loved his mama He loved, he loved her like an Italian Little Janet said you look so fine So fine Something in his smile Made them feel like strangers And then he straightened his belt With a lover's touch And he said, "I'm gonna bring home The things that are out of your clutch" Seemed like the hottest night in summer A heat that makes you feel like dying Somewhere in the next block There was a baby crying Finger on the trigger for the years to come Finger on the trigger for the years to come And as the moon slid up over the restless streets Sirens mocking and people stop to see Through their greedy eyes don't realize He's someone's son Finger on the trigger for the years to come Finger on the trigger for the years to come
