I Shall Return Lyrics

As this wheel turns 'round
I search to find my way
Struggle just to hold on
To an ordinary day
I do believe I'm slipping away

But I shall return
Though I'm losing myself
I shall return

I shall return
From the depths of my own hell
I shall return

Fate should not have blinded me
For your beauty steals my eyes
What good is my wisdom
When there are no words to say
How I feel every day?

But I shall return
Though I'm losing myself
I shall return

I shall return
From the depths of my own hell
I shall return

Daylight finds me sleeping
Dreaming of my youth
Darkness calls my name out loud
And I answer to the truth

Oh, you know I shall return
Though I'm losing myself
I shall return to find a way

Yeah, you know I shall return
From the depths of my own hell
I shall return

Dont you know?
You know I shall return
Though I'm losing myself

You know I shall return
From the depths of my own hell
I shall return

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
