"All of You" is a song that is featured in Disney's 2021 animated feature film Encanto.
Background[]
It is the penultimate song in the film. Its lyrics bring back musical and literary themes presented through the plot by tying them together to form the resolution at the end of this story's arc. The Madrigals are left with their home in rubble after a heated argument between Mirabel and Alma and through this song find a way to overcome the tragedy by seeing themselves in a new light. While still singing, the townspeople bring supplies to the family to rebuild their home with Mirabel leading the community, which ends in Mirabel (due to her love for her family), restoring the magic once Casa Madrigal has been rebuilt.
Lyrics[]
Mirabel:
Look at this home, we need a new foundation
It may seem hopeless but we'll get by just fine
Look at this family, a glowing constellation
So full of stars and everybody wants to shine
But the stars don't shine, they burn
And the constellations shift
I think it's time you learn
You're more than just your gift
Alma:
And I'm sorry I held on too tight
Just so afraid I'd lose you too
The miracle is not some magic that you've got
The miracle is you
Not some gift, just you
The miracle is you
Both:
All of you, all of you
Camilo:
Okay, so we gonna talk about Bruno?
Antonio:
That's Bruno
Bruno:
Yeah, there's a lot to say about Bruno
I'll start, okay
Pepa, I'm sorry 'bout your wedding,
Didn't mean to be upsetting
That wasn't a prophecy,
I could just see you were sweating
And I wanted you to know
That your bro loves you so
Let it in, let it out,
Let it rain, let it snow, let it go
Félix:
That's what I'm always saying, bro
Bruno:
Got a lotta 'pologies I got to say
Julieta:
Hey
Bruno:
Uh–
Julieta:
We're just happy that you're here, okay?
Bruno:
But–
Pepa:
Come into the light
Agustín:
The triplets all reunite
Julieta:
And no matter what happens
Pepa & Julieta:
We're gonna find our way
Dolores:
Yo, I knew he never left, I heard him every day
Townsfolk:
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Alma:
What's that sound?
Townsfolk:
Oh, oh
Antonio:
I think it's everyone in town!
Townsfolk:
Hey!
Lay down your load (Lay down your load)
We are only down the road (We are only down the road)
We have no gifts, but we are many
And we'll do anything for you
Isabela:
It's a dream when we work as a team (All of you, all of you)
You're so strong
Luisa:
Yeah, but sometimes I cry (All of you, all of you)
Isabela & Mirabel:
So do I
Luisa:
I may not be as strong but I'm getting wiser
Isabela:
Yeah, I need sunlight and fertilizer
C'mon, let's plant something new and watch it fly
All three:
Straight up to the sky
Mirabel, Isabela, Luisa, and Dolores:
Let's go!
Mirabel & Julieta:
The stars don't shine, they burn
The constellations glow
The seasons change in turn
Julieta:
Would you watch our little girl go?
Agustín:
She takes after you
Mirabel:
Hey Mariano, why so blue?
Mariano:
I just have so much love inside
Mirabel:
Y'know, I've got this cousin too
Have you met Dolores?
Dolores:
Okay, I'll take it from here, goodbye
You talk so loud
You take care of your mother
And you make her proud
You write your own poetry
Every night when you go to sleep
And I'm seizing the moment,
So would you wake up and notice me?
Mariano:
Dolores, I see you
Dolores:
And I hear you
Isabela & Mirabel:
Yes!
Townsfolk:
All of you, all of you
Mariano:
Let's get married
Dolores:
Slow down
Townsfolk:
All of you, all of you
Mirabel:
Home sweet home
I like the new foundation
Alma:
It isn't perfect
Mirabel:
Neither are we
Alma:
That's true
Just one more thing, before the celebration
Mirabel:
What?
Bruno:
We need a doorknob
Antonio:
We made this one for you
Camilo, Dolores, Félix & Pepa:
We see how bright you burn
Luisa & Isabela:
We see how brave you've been
Julieta & Agustín:
Now, see yourself in turn
Bruno:
You're the real gift, kid, let us in
Alma:
Open your eyes
Abre los ojos
What do you see?
Mirabel:
I see me
All of me
