Now the first kid in the crew is called imagination, | |
The team would have him stationed first to work on the aspirations. | |
But with him it’s all about having patience. | |
There’s no exact science to his magic making. | |
But imagination’s still the world’s finest engineer, | |
Who invents by merely paying no attention to his peers. | |
Tends to veer from convention and has a penchant for beers | |
Brewed from sunsets he says he drinks until his senses clear. | |
He’s Einstein brilliant, with skills to design building spines, | |
No mind is equal, so he spends his time with children on site. | |
He draws the blueprints to set the plan in motion, | |
So you know he always takes his time to create designs. | |
Imagination works without tools or drills, | |
He’s not trained, and never went to school for skills. | |
Still, nothing starts ‘til he hits the site, | |
He often brings his sketches to the foreman in the middle of the night, | |
Then he heads home ‘til the next project starts, | |
Leaving the boss to put together all the parts. | |
A foreman’s a born leader with a strong eye for detail, | |
To some it’s surprising that the boss is a fe-male, | |
But more remarkable is how she starts to go once the plans are drawn, | |
Assembling the squad and supplies so the job doesn’t die on paper. | |
Whether it’s a song soliloquy or strong skyscraper, | |
Her name is intellect, but her friends call her mental just for short, and for jokes, | |
And though she boasts all the credentials, most incredible of all of her traits is, | |
Is as small as a shape is, she’s as strong as an ape is. | |
She even does most of the work all on her own, | |
Carrying bricks and stones, but its tricks don’t check it. | |
Sis' applies physics if the load is heavy, | |
And she always goes slow and steady until she knows it’s ready. | |
See, intellect is mathematic, professional, | |
And perpetually pragmatic, but skeptical, | |
So she measures all the angles and checks the scales; | |
She makes plans, then makes plans for if the plan fails. | |
She also oversees all the company’s construction, | |
And when the team is finished there’s just one more part; | |
A specialist to make the creation a real piece of art. | |
Now heart’s not a craftsman, | |
But all the skill in the world adds up to just a fraction | |
of the soul in his passion. | |
He makes pieces long lastin’. | |
Like intellect, he’s small and humble, | |
But if he wasn’t involved it all would crumble. | |
See, heart applies a polish that puts a special shine | |
on the work that intellect built, | |
And the imagination designed. | |
Plus, he also adds a touch of the divine, | |
To protect from the grind of the elements over time. | |
Without him, great pieces often go to waste, | |
And he makes the less refined unique in every case. | |
He’ll work through all conditions, even in snow and rain, | |
Somehow pushing himself through the coldest days, | |
Covered in cuts and scratches with no complaints, and Novocaine; | |
Just a threshold for pain that’ll blow your brain, | |
Workin’ through the setbacks. | |
And when it’s done it’s just on to the next task. |
