What is You are my everything about?

As the sun rises, a parent and young elephant begin their journey across the savannah to reunite with the herd. Along the way, they splash in cool water, follow winding paths and discover the wonders of the natural world. Through gentle, rhythmic verses, the parent describes how deeply their child is loved and how they bring joy, strength and connection to the whole family. At sunset, the elephants join the herd, where love and belonging surround them.
