about

Lego founder Ole Kirk Christiansen once said “Life is more than just a gift - Life is a challenge”. Only by accepting the challenge can one find the gifts hidden within. Like with the plastic bricks that would come to define Christiansen’s company after his time, there are multiple methods and endless possibilities for navigating life’s challenges and changes.

lyrics

Step One
Open up to see the tools at our disposal
what’s it gonna be?
 
Take Flight
no instructions necessary, navigating
the branches of the tree
 
Fantasise
All the elements are placed in front of us
Try not to overthink
 
Visualise
Make it look like something
everyone connects to
Heart and soul in-sync
 
Put your fear and doubt aside
Clutch the power, take the ride
Build it up and lay it down
 
Life is an open box
Take it apart, and break the rules
Rebuild it piece by piece
Turn it into something new
Just imagine what we can do
 
Work In Progress
the more we spend our time together,
the more we realise
what can be redone
 
Side by side
Put it on display for all to come and see
The challenges we’ve overcome
 
And if it seems a bit offset
That’s ‘cause we’re not finished yet
There’s still space that we can fill
 
This is one way to tell the story
In the end, it’s up to you
If you want to learn to live again
You’ve got to learn to push on through
 
Climbing up the mountain
We’re bound to trip and fall
But still we build ourselves back up
And rise above it all
 
‘Cause we’re all part of a team
With our buildings and machines
Little people, big ideas
