At first you don't really get the message of what the kids are saying, you (or at least I) see it as cute, when really what the kids are saying is the most important part.

John 3:16 is what Video is about.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16.

The kids are about 2-6 years old.

18 And Life - Skid Row

Song Lyrics

Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.

Lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone.

Just barely got out of school, came from the edge of town.

Fought like a switchblade, so no one could take him down.

He had no money, oh no good at home.

He walked the streets a soldier and fought the world alone.

And now its,

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

your crime is time and it’s

18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline

It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.

They say he loved adventure, “ Ricky’s The wild one”

He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun

Bang Bang Shoot em’ up the party never ends.

You cant think of dying when the bottle’s your best friend

and now it’s

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

Your crime is time and it’s

18 and life to go

“accidents will happen” they all heard Ricky say

He fired his six-shot into the wind- that child blew a child away.

18 and life you got it

18 and life you know

your crime is time and it’s

18 and life to go

The video is made so the verse is spread more than what it is as of now. The video also helps you remember the verse, as the little kids are being funny and excited about it. In the video the audio is only the verse being read aloud by about 3-6 year olds. As for what I think the verse itself means, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son,”. To be able to do that would end up being a really really hard decision, he gave up his own son, HIS OWN SON, for you. (Feeling Loved?). “that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”. He sacrificed his own son so the believers of him would not perish (die in violence) but have life forever, no beginning no end, thats along time.

At first you think Ricky is homeless. It says he has no money, no good at home.

He walked the streets a soldier and fought the world alone.
