Thulin and his family travelled full-time across America for three years where they sang in over five hundred churches and performed with Carman and The Gaither Vocal Band. After releasing six albums with his family, Jonathan began his solo career at sixteen releasing his first album "Immovable" which was a local success in his home town at the time, Minneapolis.[citation needed] He went onto release another album "The Epiphany Guide" in 2008.

Finding My Way
Jonathan Thulin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But now I feel miles from you.
I never felt like a stranger,
But now it feels like I've lost you.
Where are you?
I used to follow what you'd say,
But now it feels like I've lost my way.
Don't want to live in the shadow,
Of what used to be,
I'm just beginning...
I'm finding my way back to you,
I'm taking in all that you do,
I love you because I want to,
It's a willing road back to you.
You made every inch of me new,
I'm breathing the air that you do,
Oh I'm finding my way to you.
I want to know what it feels like,
To live my life with no regrets.
But I would cease to be human,
What broken heart would you fix then?
So I'm letting go of all that I've known...
I'm finding my way back to you,
I'm taking in all that you do,
I love you because I want to,
It's a willing road back to you.
You made every inch of me new,
I'm breathing the air that you do,
Oh I'm finding my way to you.
To you... yeah
I'm finding my way back to you,
I'm taking in all that you do,
I love you because I want to,
It's a willing road back to you.
You made every inch of me new,
I'm breathing the air that you do,
Oh I'm finding my way to you.
I'm finding my way to you.
The lyrics of Jonathan Thulin's Finding My Way speak to the struggle of feeling disconnected and lost from a once-close relationship. The singer reminisces about a time when they were deeply in love with this person, but now they feel distant and alone, as if they've lost them altogether. The singer wonders where the person they loved has gone and feels as though they've lost their way without them. They used to follow this person's lead, but now they feel lost in the shadow of their past.
But despite the despair of feeling lost, the singer also acknowledges a willingness to find their way back to the one they love, once again taking in all their actions and internalizing them. They realize that from the start, they loved this person because they wanted to, not because they had to. Finally, the singer reveals that they are breathing the same air as the one they love; they are finding their way back to a place of familiarity and love.
The song ultimately conveys a message of hope, acknowledging hardship and loss but seeing a way forward. It speaks to the power of love, forgiveness and the willingness to start anew.
