Overture
Wolf Patrick Lyrics

It's wonderful what a smile can hide
A person's smile can effectively cover up what they are feeling or thinking.

If the teeth shine bright and it's nice and wide
If a person has shiny, widely exposed teeth when they smile, it can be quite spectacular.

It's so magical all you can keep inside
It's amazing how much a person can conceal within themselves.

And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no
If a person buries their thoughts and feelings deep within themselves, no one can detect what they are thinking or feeling.

So come on now, open wide, open up now
Encouraging someone to open up and reveal their true feelings.

Don't you think it's time
Asking if it isn't time for someone to reveal their true feelings.

To look back at that boy on his way to school
To recall a boy on his way to school from the past.

Such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel hiding
The boy had a very heavy heart, with something of great value hiding within it.

Something that one day he'll sell
The valuable item that he had within his heart was something that he would eventually let go of.

But now if no one shows, no one tells a thing, no
Until the boy decides to tell someone, no one will know the valuable item that he has hidden in his heart.

So come on love, open wide, open up now
Addressing a person to encourage them to open up and reveal their true feelings.

Don't you think it's time
Asking if it isn't time for a person to reveal their true feelings.

Now after all these years you are at last opening was it
If a person finally reveals their true feelings after having kept them buried for years, was it worthwhile to keep them hidden in the first place?

Worth all that war just to win
Was it worthwhile to keep one's thoughts and feelings hidden when it was such a struggle?

So caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
Being too fixated on the pace of daily life and being unable to break free from continued actions.

Don't forget how the story begins no
Remember how the story began, without abandoning the pursuit of progress.

Don't forget now
Don't forget the past and the struggles to keep a person motivated to keep going.

Now I'm seeing all your lovers and enemies
Now it is being viewed that people in one's life can be friends or foes.

They've been turning their keys so full of need
They are invested in maintaining themselves through the exertion of power and desire.

All trying to see that sure you keep
They all want to make sure you don't lose, so they will help or harm you as best they can.

What makes it shine, what makes it mine
Seeking to understand what makes one's life bright, special and unique.

But I don't care, no
A statement of defiance, asserting one's own independence and carefree attitude.

Just come on now, open wide, open up now
Encouraging someone to open up and reveal their true feelings.

There's so much love for what you'll find
There is plenty of affection to greet the person who reveals their true feelings.

But what will you find
Challenging the person to think beyond the initial revelation of their true feelings.

If it was can you take me back to where it begins
Asking if the initial process of concealing one's true feelings was worthwhile, if not questioning why one starts the process in the first place.

Come and take me back to where it begins
To go back to the beginning of the journey of hiding one's true feelings.

Come on, open wide and let some light in
Encouraging someone to open up to the world and let the world into the individual's inner self.

Let us in
Inviting and accepting the presence of others.
