Around Video (MV)

I don't sing for my mother no more
Unless I'm happy
She don't see no reason for
This not-so-giddy piece of me
She says why you gotta sing so sad
Don't you got nothin' to be glad for
Oh ma I don't know
How to show you
Where I'm comin' from

I don't sing for my father these days
'Cause I'm not that brave
He ain't got no manners
And I don't trust his ways
He says babe you wanna be a star
Just do what I say and you'll go far
Oh pa I don't know
How to show you
What my reasons are

'Cause I've been around and around
And around and around and around
I've been around and around
And around and around and around

And I want to grow higher
I want to grow stronger
I want to grow wiser
From all I've seen
All I've seen

And I want to grow higher
I want to grow stronger
I want to grow wiser
From all I've been through

So let me sing about it to you
Let me sing about it to you

I packed up moved away
To the sound from the bay
I'm still finding my way
I get lost every day
Did I trade all my friends
For a thousand dead ends
All my demons coming out to play
I don't trust my mind
My heart's gone blind
The only truth I seem to find
Is I got lots to do
Working on being true
Can I practice without hurting you
Oh well

I'm singing for my soul today
Sometimes it's the only way
To release all your fears
And begin to heal
Find some solid ground
Instead of tumbling around and around
Around and around
Oh yes
Well I'm singing for my soul tonight
And I know everything will be alright
I can't ask you to stay
I know we gotta go our own little ways

And I want to grow higher
I want to grow stronger
I want to grow wiser
From all I've seen
All I've seen

And I want to grow stronger
I want to grow wiser
I want to grow higher
And I want to grow stronger
I want to grow wiser
I want to grow higher
I want to grow stronger
