Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker proposes going out to bring back the people they care about who have strayed off. 'Wayward babes' mixes affection with exasperation, treating the missing companions like wandering charges, and 'let's go' makes it a shared, determined call to action rather than a complaint.
