We are so lucky at Touched by Olivia to have an amazing, dedicated ambassador in Jay Laga'aia. Jay is a super dad, super man, super human, who has been with us since the start.
Over the years, Jay has been playing with the idea of a song for Touched by Olivia, and recently the creative flood came. The anthem is the result!

Yesterday, we hosted a Play Day ... and whilst artfully dodging the potential of electrocution, our Jay premiered the song he had poured his heart into, which he titled Livvi's Place.
We're looking forward to sharing the tune with you when Jay returns from his tour in his motherland; in the meantime, here's the lyrics... you can memorise them for the official launch of the Butterfly Choir!

LIVVI'S PLACE
Words and Music by Jay Laga'aia.
There’s a boy who sit a top,
A wheelie chair he dreams a lot.
A wheelie chair he dreams a lot.
A race car Champion,
He zooms around the track!
He zooms around the track!
There’s a girl with training legs,
She’s trying hard and turning heads.
Her steps are very small,
but she gets there and comes back.
but she gets there and comes back.
Bridge:
To put a smile upon their face,
I think they’d like my special place
To put a smile upon their face,
I think they’d like my special place
Where they can...
Fly and Run and Jump and Swing,
Fly and Run and Jump and Swing,
They can play and do most anything.
Chorus:
There’s a joy that can be found
In this wonderous playground.
Full of happiness,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place!
There’s a joy that can be found
In this wonderous playground.
Full of happiness,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place!
Where the familes stay all day
All kinds of people come to play
All kinds of people come to play
Have a picnic,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place.
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place.
Instrumental. Middle 8;
From a memory born
From a memory born
From a time forelorn
When this idea formed
It was Livvi’s Place!
You can bring a friend,
The fun will never end,
Our hopes and joy we send,
The fun will never end,
Our hopes and joy we send,
Here at Livvi’s Place!
Bridge:
Mums and Dads can see their child who hasn’t smiled for quite a while
Mums and Dads can see their child who hasn’t smiled for quite a while
Play a melody, slide with friends for fun, Climb a rope tower up to the sun,
Build a Castle, Laugh, do so much more, Ride a Carousel, close your eyes and soar!
Build a Castle, Laugh, do so much more, Ride a Carousel, close your eyes and soar!
Chorus
There’s a joy that can be found
In this wonderous playground.
Full of happiness,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place!
There’s a joy that can be found
In this wonderous playground.
Full of happiness,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place!
Where the familes stay all day
All kinds of people come to play
Have a picnic,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place. x 2
All kinds of people come to play
Have a picnic,
You’re welcome here at Livvi’s Place. x 2
Instrumental.
There’s a boy who sits a top
A Flying Fox he laughs a lot
His friends are helping him
He loves here at Livvi’s Place
There’s a girl with training legs
She banging music out instead
A wood block symphony
She loves it here at Livvi’s Place,
A wood block symphony
She loves it here at Livvi’s Place,
You’ll love it here at Livvi’s Place.
END.
