When I listen to this song, I picture young kids, about twelve years old, who are sprinting through the forest attempting to flee. They had just escaped from being held captive and are trying to become free. At certain points, they are in danger of becoming caught by the soldiers of the village they escaped from. At times they ran and were able to get away, and at other times they took a stand and fought. Since the kids are so young, they had to persevere through the harsh blows that the soldiers struck them with. These kids used their brains to outsmart the soldiers. After winning a small battle, they had to go back to running before they got caught and had to endure an even more severe punishment than why they left in the first place. After fighting and winning, they come to a point where they knew they were approximately twenty minutes from their home village. They stop for a fleeting moment to rest. One detects an ambush approaching. They are aware that they don’t have time to run so they dive, sprint, and duck to hide from the enemy as they prey to their savior that they aren’t detectable. The suspense for the kids builds as the bulky men with guns look around. After what felt like an eternity, the kids were able to breathe a sigh of relief as the ambushers left. They were paralyzed for a moment, then collapsed onto the soft, safe ground.
“We’re almost home. We can make it,” a small blonde girl whispered. At that moment, all of the kids slowly got to their feet and trudged on for a bit. One stopped dead in his tracks. They inwardly groaned as they got ready to hide. He laughed and then sprinted past all three of the other tweens. They giggled to catch up as they smiled and laughed to the top of their lungs, eventually collapsing in the safety of their own home.
