How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

It’s a song about meeting God. I remember looking at a bunch of people’s Myspace when I first saw Myspace and the ‘Who I’d Like To Meet’ the #1 thing people picked was God. I think about that. I don’t know how many times I’ve experienced something where I felt like God showed up and saved me or loved me for no reason sometimes. That’s why I sing this song, I sing it to God. It’s really intimate as well, you can think about it as a relationship between two people in love, too. I never think about it that way, but what’s so cool about that is I think there’s parallels everywhere – in everything in life. I think that that parallel is something that God wants to communicate to us, that he gives us relationships like that, an intimacy like that."

Live, Lacey has prefaced “All Around Me” by saying, “This song is for Jesus.”
