Return
Wolves At The Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then tell me who could ever hide such truth if not for you and me?
Now if you ever found this key inside, inside your very soul
What would there ever to be found at all besides a gaping hole?
Return! Return! Repent! Return! Restore!
Return all you thirsty
Come all who hunger
See that our God is good
Scream until you faint at all of the stars and planets and sky
They haven't a mouth, they haven't a mouth to speak
Even if the earth could shout out, make a reply, it would tell you all to return
Return, restore, and seek.
Open up your eyes
The light may blind
But brings relief
With patience and grace
Your patience and grace
Bids all to come and return! Return!
Return all you thirsty
Come all who hunger
Mend what we've broken
Return! Repent! Return! Restore!
Come forth! Repent! Come forth! Behold!
Just like the blind stumbling in the darkness
Can't find light for they walk in blackness
Can't find hope living without justice
Can't find peace while their hearts are restless
Just like the blind
Can't find light
Can't find hope
Can't find peace while their hearts are restless
As you're slipping down to the floor while you're reaching and crying out
Crying out for someone to just hear a sound
As you're slipping down to the floor while you're falling you'll hear me shout
"Seek Him while He, seek him while He may be found."
Open up your eyes
The light may blind
But brings relief
With patience and grace
Your patience and grace
Bids all to come and return!
Return all you thirsty
Come all who hunger
Come and see that He is full of grace
Abounding in love
Slow to anger
Surely good to all

Return all you thirsty
Everyone who is thirsty should return
Come all who hunger
Everyone who is hungry should come
See that our God is good
Observe that our God is benevolent
Scream until you faint at all of the stars and planets and sky
Cry out until you're exhausted at the sky, planets, and stars
They haven't a mouth, they haven't a mouth to speak
They can't speak because they don't have a mouth
Even if the earth could shout out, make a reply, it would tell you all to return
Even if the earth were able to respond and speak, it would simply implore you to go back, to return
Return, restore, and seek.
Come back, make it right, and search

But brings relief
It provides solace
With patience and grace
Through having persistence and compassion
Your patience and grace
Your patience and compassion
Bids all to come and return! Return!
Encourages everyone to come and go back! Go back!
Mend what we've broken
Fix what we have damaged
Come forth! Repent! Come forth! Behold!
Step forward! Repent! Step forward! Look!
Just like the blind stumbling in the darkness
Similar to those who cannot see and fumble around in the darkness
Can't find light for they walk in blackness
They are unable to look for the light since they're surrounded by darkness
Can't find hope living without justice
They have no hope if they live without fairness
Can't find peace while their hearts are restless
There will be no peace as long as their hearts are disturbed
As you're slipping down to the floor while you're reaching and crying out
As you're falling down to the ground and shouting out
Crying out for someone to just hear a sound
Asking for someone to listen
Seek Him while He, seek him while He may be found.
Look for Him while He may be reached.
Come and see that He is full of grace
Come and witness that He is full of compassion
Abounding in love
Overflowing with love
Slow to anger
Not quick to become angry
Surely good to all
Without a doubt, good to everyone

Here's the lyrics if anyone wanted them!
If the answer is found within yourself
Then who has made the key?
Then tell me who could ever hide such truth
If not for you and me?
Now if you ever found this key inside,
Inside your very soul.
What would there ever to be found at all
Besides a gaping hole?
Return!
Return! Repent!
Return! Restore!
Return all you thirsty.
Come all who hunger.
See that our God is good.
Scream until you faint
At all of the stars and planets and sky.
They haven’t a mouth
Haven’t a mouth to speak.
Even if the earth could shout out,
Make a reply, it would tell you all to return.
Return, restore and seek.
Open up your eyes.
The light may blind,
But brings relief.
With patience and grace.
Patience and grace.
Bids all to come and
Return!
Return all you thirsty.
Come all who hunger.
Mend what we’ve broken.
Return! Repent! Return! Restore!
Come forth! Repent!
Come forth! Behold!
Just like the blind stumbling in the darkness.
Can’t find light for they walk in blackness.
Can’t find hope living without justice.
Can’t find peace while their hearts are restless.
Just like the blind
Can’t find light
Can’t find hope
Can’t find peace while their hearts are restless.
As you’re slipping down to the floor
While you’re reaching and crying out,
Crying out for someone to just hear a sound.
As you’re slipping down to the floor,
While you’re falling you’ll hear me shout
“Seek Him while He, Seek Him while He may be found.”
Open up your eyes.
The light may blind,
But brings relief.
With patience and grace.
Patience and grace.
Bids all to come and
Return!
Return all you thirsty.
Come all who hunger.
Come and see that He is
He is full of grace.
Abounding in love.
Slow to anger.
