Coming Back
Ben Cantelon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am broken, there's nowhere left to hide
I'm drowning in need of your lifeline
I'm desperate, I'm on my knees again
Surrendered

I have had all the riches of this world
They could never, ever take your place
I'm coming back to you, my love
I've had enough of what I've become
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you

I am reaching up to a higher ground
But gravity has got a hold on me
But I know your love will see me
Through this darkness

I'm coming back to you my love
I've had enough of what I've become
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you

Take my heart and make it clean
I'm overwhelmed as your grace covers me
I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back to you

I'm coming back, I'm coming back to you
I'm coming back, I'm coming back to you
Break me, mold me, heal me, restore me
You are my hope, you are my hope




Hold me closely, never let go
You are my hope, you are my hope

I acknowledge that I am damaged and there's no place to run


I'm drowning in need of your lifeline
I'm engulfed in requirements that only your support can meet


I'm desperate, I'm on my knees again
I'm feeling an urgent need and surrendering myself to you


Surrendered
I've given up control and handed myself over to you


I have had all the riches of this world
I've experienced all Earthly wealth and possessions


They could never, ever take your place
But none of those things could replace you


I am reaching up to a higher ground
I aspire for something greater and holier


But gravity has got a hold on me
But worldly ties are holding me back

Through this darkness
Even in the midst of troubles and challenges


Take my heart and make it clean
Purify my heart and give me a new beginning

You are my steadfast hope and anchor

Embrace me tightly and never let me go


I'm coming back to you, my love
I'm returning back to you, my beloved

I'm done with being who I am right now


I'm coming back to you
I'm returning back to you
