	I didn't see the movie, nor the clip, but the song just delights me. It's about freedom, freeing yourself from the downs and standards of society. Be yourself, live on, sing and love! (However, the song gets corny after a while, without loosing its light tone)

	Being human must be hard, eh? Animals have better lives, ha! This song is great. It's got a happy beat to it. :)

	badnitrus basically summed it up. this song is about getting away from normal life and just letting go and having fun.

	it's about just running free and not being tied down by all these rules. He wants to just run from people and runs and just be free.
