This video was shot at Kuussuaq in Southern Greenland near Nanortalik and in the Nuuk capital area. In the first part, where Frederik and Christian walks around in the magic (and only) forest in Greenland, the beautiful green trees symbolize the strong confident people who are leading a positive life. The gray, wilting and dead trees symbolize the people that are struggling in life, some not making it. In the video Frederik finds a magic glass sphere containing ancient spirits. The spirits appears as green lights in the glass sphere - the color of life. Frederik brings the magic sphere with the ancient spirits to the cairn that Nanook (the band) completes. The spirit gets released into present time, meaning that we should use our strength and positive values from our ancestors and adapt it to present time. With the ancients spirits among us we should not fear the future.

The lyrics are about finding a way to a peaceful life by working together and help one another. By doing that, we can all achieve more and become grateful and learn to respect each others' differences. In the end of the song the band sings;

We want to thank you
You that are here
Because you support and help us
