Story Behind The Song
Emily's musical research led her to be introduced to two music schools for children. The musical activities offer an alternative to working in the cane plantations. She was invited to give music workshops and on one occasion was amazed by the singing voice of a boy named Eduan Rodrigues de Almeida. Inviting him to sing his favourite song she recorded him singing "A Margem do Igarape". This song commences "Realised Dream" and the lyrics for this song describe the experience of meeting Eduan and hearing him sing his song in the peace of the local forest.

Lyrics
Realised Dream part 1
I remember you, as though it were yesterday,
I have your picture on the wall.
Your young body so weathered
Yet resisting the storm.
I remember you as though it were yesterday,
Your song rang out in the wood.
Enraptured I listened,
So silent, I stood.
I remember you as though it were yesterday,
I will always think of you.
As your song keeps on playing
So will your dreams come true.
