I was inspired to write something from this music video.

Run Boy Run - 48 Hour Challenge


The music video told the boy to run; it didn't
matter what was behind him. Even though
it was hard to understand the words, I
thought they were telling him to run. I saw
the monsters chase him. Being he was told
to keep running, they couldn't touch him. It
took tremendous courage for this little boy to
conquer his fears. He held a sword and a
shield in his hand to protect himself. He
could fight off anything standing in his way.

I love the music that went along with the video.
The pounding of the drums and the beat of the
music was great! I believe it encouraged the
little boy to fight off his negativity. It gave him
power and strength to keep running without
giving up.

This world is a scary place to be in when you're
feeling alone, thinking that everyone is against
you. Getting yourself out there on your own to
face this kind of emptiness, I would call an act
of bravery.

Run Boy Run refused to quit running; he wanted
to make it to the finish line. He's been walking for
quite some time. He wanted to give up, but he
kept running. Finding it difficult to find their way
(not sure of where they're at or where they're going),
he's certain of going on a mission, a journey to help
those who are lost. Despite all the dangers, Run Boy
Run wants to help save the world. Truly he believes
he can accomplish this feat. He's confident in his
ability to dream big. He has little faith, but, knowing if
he had enough faith as little as a grain of mustard
seed, he found that having faith without doubt was
strong enough to conquer anything.

Run Boy Run fears he's lost the battle, but he doesn't
quit; he keeps on running, and the beat goes on. He's
not sure where he's running to, but, in time, he will
find his answer.

The beat of the music makes me want to dance; it
puts me in the groove to make the right moves.
Thumpity thump, thump, thump, let's get up and do
the bump. The music is great, don't show up late.
Please don't hesitate, my friend, show me how to
dance, and let's do it now. Knowing how far we'll
go, we'll start a new trend by taking it slow. To do a
retake, wouldn't be a mistake. The mind is filled
with music compared to all the memories that we've
shared; it's the most beautiful music anyone could
ever imagine. Only an artist can paint a picture of
these thoughts.

Sunshine and laughter shouldn't depart from a young
boy's heart. Happiness delights the soul; it makes you
feel good inside and out. This is what it's all about. He
doesn't have to run anymore, this little boy belongs in
this world.
