Gaman - Luka Bloom

Sifting through debris

Of broken lives

Around Fukushima

People somehow survive

In the worst of moments

Holding hands

Walk through devastation

In the spirit of Gaman

Around Tohoku

Many people stayed

Growing food and flowers

Make the most of every day

Life isn t easy

So much to face

I hope I meet adversity

With just a little grace

The radiation

And the wave that came

Revealed a beauty

With a simple name

Below the sky

Of Northern Japan

Rubble turns to houses

People rebuild

In the spirit of Gaman

After Fukushima, Gaman

In the eye of every storm, Gaman

Within the Japanese, Gaman

Something everybody needs

Gaman
