Free as Running Water...

Today, my three-year-old and I watched one of the all-time greatest animated films ever: Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown! I remember watching this classic as a child, and it warms my soul to report that age has only improved it. Who cannot love a loser like Charlie Brown? Who cannot identify with his struggle to fulfill his destiny as a great summer camp leader?

In celebration of this great film, I'd like to reprint the lyrics of the film's theme song. In my opinion, it is one of the great forgotten classics.

It's a new day
We all can agree
That the sun shine's
Brought to you absolutely free

Free as running water
Fresh as morning dew
No matter who's the leader
When the sun sets down
It's gone Charlie Brown
So race for your life

Take a chance cause there's no second dance
Till it's a new day

I'll tell you a secret
You're about to face a test
And you'll have to do your best
Don't forget, just remember
Just remember, don't forget

Your life is free as running water
Fresh as morning dew
No matter who's the winner
If you try, we're behind you
Charlie Brown

Race for your life, Charlie Brown
Race for your life, Charlie Brown
Race for your life, Charlie Brown
Race for your life, Charlie Brown
