Hisako Nakamura (from "of Soul", Real Tales of Illusion, part 2), Lyrics/Music: Jan Verner-Carlsson (c) 2009
Hisako Nakamura!
The say this world
is going down.
I say maybe we're just
drowning on the surface
of our minds.

Hisako Nakamura!
They say it's all
falling apart.
I say it's just a matter
of focus & where
we decide to start.
They built a mighty wall in China
They built pyramids in Egypt &
They went to the moon from the USA -

You fought your way through life
You made it through the night
You made it without fingers
You made it without toes
Your dolls were like all those
struggling to survive without the sun.

'cause you knew it's just a matter
how to focus and where to start
and stay away from
drowning on the
surface of our minds.

We can take it as it is
we can take it as it comes, but
the only thing that counts
we stay REAL.

Hisako Nakamura!
I sing this song
for every-1 who's fighting
the darkness of their life.
It'd doesn't matter
if you're from Gifu,
Cape Carneval, Hong Kong
or Berlin.

Hisako Nakamura!
There will always be
a shadow in our life.
But we decide our self whether
self-pity's gonna eat us
or trigger us to stand up
and fight.

Note: Hisako Nakamura was born in Gifu, Japan. At a very young age she lost her dad and froze her fingers and feet, which had to be amputated. Still she managed to focus all her energy, and through self-discipline she started to make dolls. The story of Hisako Nakamura was made known to me through a friend in Florida. (less info)
