One Little Spark

Chuck Mccann
One little spark of inspiration, Is at the heart of all creation.
Right at the start of everything that's new, One little spark lights up for you."
Oh, hello there.
So glad you could come along.
I am the Dreamfinder. (laughs) Musical notes!
What delightful melodies those will make.
I love these flights of fancy.
Searching the universe for sounds, colors, ideas--anything that sparks the imagination!
A sunbeam!
That's a good one. (laughs) Everything that I collect can inspire amazing and marvelous new ideas.
And you never know what kind of figment you may come up with. (laughs) Here's my favorite!
Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow.
Horns of a steer, but a loveable fellow.
From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment.
And there -- Voila! -- you've got a Figment!"
A Figment of imagination! (laughs) Dreamfinder!
I'm just great!
Ah-ah-ah!
Not quite!
Huh?
I'll throw in a dash of childish delight. (laughs) Look, Figment!
Some new friends have joined us.
Can they imagine, too?
Of course!
Imagination is something that belongs to all of us.
You mean, everyone can think up new things? (laughs) That's right, Figment.
And every sparkling idea can lead to even more.
So many times, we're stumbling in the dark, And then -- Eureka! -- 'what a spark!"
H-h-how are we going to use lightning?
Hmmm...
we can combine it with ghostly shivers on a stormy night.
And turn it into a tale of fright!
Oh, oh, look, look!
A rainbow!
I'll use that to paint with.
Now you've got it.
Wow, wow wow!
Numbers, letters, papers for writing.
Costumes, make-up, stages for lighting.
Teardrops, laughter.
What about science?
Science?
We'll need electron beams and crystal prisms.
Gyroscopes and magnetisms...
Hold on, Figment.
Why?
The idea bag is full.
It is?
Let's start making new things.
Now, wait.
First, we must store these ideas with the others in the Dreamport.
Are we almost there?
Oh, the Dreamport is never far away when you use your imagination.
Come on everybody, let's go!
We all have sparks, imaginations.
That's how our minds create creations.
Right at the start of everything that's new.
One little spark lights up for you."
Oh, boy!"
Imagination, imagination.
A dream can be a dream come true, With just that spark in me and you."
