Around Us
Jonsi Lyrics

I see the walls, then see them fall
I witness the walls that once surrounded us fall apart as you break through them.

You break through them all
You uniquely overcome all the obstacles that stand in the way of what you want.

I see you crawl, now you stand tall
I see you at your weakest state, but then you conquer your difficulties and rise to great heights.

Grow and grow till tall
You keep growing, evolving and standing taller, stronger, and better in every aspect of life.

In storm we scream against the stream, our eyes watering
We face turbulent times and fight against the odds, as we express our emotions from the pain and tears that come along.

Jump into lakes, the surface breaks
We plunge into the unknown, causing ripples to form and breaking the calmness and predictability of the surface.

We swim underwater, and our mouths
We dive deeper into our emotions, and our mouths are opened up, revealing our unconscious selves.

In tune
We are in harmony with ourselves and the world around us, even in the depths of pain and struggle.

We all want to grow with the seeds we will sow
We all aspire to grow with the things we create or put into the world, starting from small beginnings and building ourselves up.

We all want to go with the breeze we will blow
We all want to go where life takes us because we know growth and change will always come, just as the wind blows in different directions.

We all want to know when we're all meant to go
We all want to understand our true purposes in life, where our journey will end, and what our contributions will be.

To a place you and I
To a place where we can be ourselves, embrace our unique journeys, and connect with each other without judgment.

I see forest, a treasure chest full of labyrinth
I imagine a mysterious forest full of secrets, challenges, and opportunities -- something to be explored and conquered.

I see a door, holes in the floor
I spot a door that could lead anywhere, and the holes in the floor show me that there are obstacles ahead, but I can find a way through.

We'll break seeds, we'll grow
We'll break out of our shells of self-doubt and limitations, to grow as individuals.

There's songs, songs you bring to us
You inspire us and share wisdom with us through songs and music you create.

You pin both the wings on us
You empower us to fly high and far, to reach our full potential and to realize our dreams.

I hear, I see you sing for us
I perceive the music from your soul enriches and enlightens our emotional experiences.

You go tie a string around us
You make meaningful connections with us that transcend any barriers or obstacles, entrusting us with boundless support and comfort.

I see you grow
I see the growth and development of your character, values, and identity, as you overcome challenges and pursue your dreams and goals.

Grow taller
Continue to grow in strength, courage, and integrity, as you rise above the ordinary and step into the extraordinary.
