IDPs

Nearly 1.5 million people have been displaced by this month's fighting in the north-western region, and about two million since last August, the UN's refugee agency says.

There is a woman in Swat
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


There is a woman in Swat 
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
