it

20. We
should
run
through
the
forest
We
should
swim
in
the
streams
We
should
laugh,
we
should
cry,
We
should
love,
we
should
dream
We
should
stare
at
the
stars
and
not
just
the
screens
You
should
hear
what
I'm
saying
and
know
what
it
means
To
sing,
sing
at
the
top
of
your
voice,
Love
without
fear
in
your
heart.
Feel,
feel
like
you
still
have
a
choice
If
we
all
light
up
we
can
scare
away
the
dark
Well,
we
wish
we
were
happier,
thinner
and
fitter,
We
wish
we
weren't
losers
and
liars
and
quitters
We
want
something
more
not
just
nasty
and
bitter
We
want
something
real
not
just
hash
tags
and
Twitter
It's
the
meaning
of
life
and
it's
streamed
live
on
YouTube
But
I
bet
Gangnam
Style
will
still
get
more
views
We're
scared
of
drowning,
flying
and
shooters
But
we're
all
slowly
dying
in
front
of
computers
To
sing,
sing
at
the
top
of
your
voice,
Love
without
fear
in
your
heart.
Feel,
feel
like
you
still
have

If
we

light
up
we
can
scare
