Throughout his journey, he realizes how his family must have coped with the pain of missing and losing him. How they would have spent their days without him while he was busy enjoying life.

In the video, Saroo is shown many times conversing with his foster mother. His foster family seems genuinely happy and caring towards Saroo. At the time where his mother starts losing her health, Saroo learns that the reason his foster parents kept adopting children was that they wanted to help children who didn't have a family. They were doing this out of sheer kindness. This represents another aspect of the music video i.e. Humanity. When he tells his foster parents about his search for his biological family, they truly support him. In the video, Nicole Kidman is seen crying which leaves the audience with the emotion of extreme sadness as well as the realization of how a mother would feel being left behind by a son.
Due to his consistent efforts of looking for his family, one-day Saroo discovers the place which he later recognizes as his mother's workplace. It was due to the Google Earth he was able to find this stone marking. Following his way through the place, he finally reaches his hometown where he meets his mother and his sister in an emotional setting. However, the scene of meeting with his biological family is not shown in a music video, it is still pretty much convincing for the audience to guess that he meets his family. The video ends at the scene where Saroo discovers those rock formations. It is represented in quite an intense setting which is the basic theme of Sia's every music video. The narrator recalls his previous encounters at the same place which gives a video an element of transition.
The lyrics of Sia’s song “Never Give up” perfectly correlates with the meaning of the music video ADDIN ZOTERO_ITEM CSL_CITATION {"citationID":"I4Kwn4TK","properties":{"formattedCitation":"(\\uc0\\u8220{}Sia\\uc0\\u8217{}s \\uc0\\u8216{}Never Give Up\\uc0\\u8217{} Lyrics Tap Into Where We Are As A Nation Right Now\\uc0\\u8221{})","plainCitation":"(“Sia’s ‘Never Give Up’ Lyrics Tap Into Where We Are As A Nation Right Now”)","noteIndex":0},"citationItems":[{"id":76,"uris":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/37AURZ6S"],"uri":["http://zotero.org/users/local/LGdpQbDd/items/37AURZ6S"],"itemData":{"id":76,"type":"webpage","title":"Sia's \"Never Give Up\" Lyrics Tap Into Where We Are As A Nation Right Now","container-title":"Bustle","abstract":"I don't know what kind of magical crystal ball Sia is using that helps her look directly into my soul and see what kind of music I need to hear in that moment, but she clearly has one, because the lyrics to Sia's new song \"Never Give Up\" are living…","URL":"https://www.bustle.com/articles/195862-sias-never-give-up-lyrics-tap-into-where-we-are-as-a-nation-right-now","language":"en","accessed":{"date-parts":[["2019",11,14]]}}}],"schema":"https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json"} (“Sia’s ‘Never Give Up’ Lyrics Tap Into Where We Are As A Nation Right Now”). Throughout the video, Saroo tries to reconnect with his family. It shows Saroo's consistent efforts in finding his way back to his biological family. It was these consistent efforts that he didn’t give up on and ended up getting what he lived for. These Consistent efforts acted as a driving force for his goal achievement. Along with the message of hope and determination, the videos slightly represent some common aspects of human nature and society. How does a sudden urge of getting something bring a major change in someone's life? How do the sudden realizations provoke a person to do better in life and drive towards the better end? How is human nature not as cruel as actually, it seems to be? There is still kindness and consideration left in this world. While some refuse to acknowledge this, others contribute to making this world kind and bearable for others.
