Lyrics
Can you feel it in your bones, something isn't right here
Something that you've always known but you don't know why
'Cause every time the sun goes down we face another night here
Waiting for the world to spin around just to survive
But when you see the morning sun
Burning through a silver mist
Don't you want to thank someone?
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
Have you ever wondered why in spite of all that's wrong here
There's still so much that goes so right and beauty abounds?
'Cause sometimes when you walk outside the air is full of song here
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs and the rain comes down
And when you see the spring has come
And it warms you like a mother's kiss
Don't you want to thank someone?
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
I used to be a little boy as golden as a sunrise
Breaking over Illinois when the corn was tall
Yeah, but every little boy grows up and he's haunted by the heart that died
Longing for the world that was before the Fall
Oh, but then forgiveness comes
A grace that I cannot resist
And I just want to thank someone
I just want to thank someone for this
Now I can see the world is charged, it's glimmering with promises
Written in a script of stars, dripping from prophets' lips
But still, my thirst is never slaked, I am hounded by a restlessness
Eaten by this endless ache, but still I will give thanks for this
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat, I can feel it when the horses run
It's howling in the snowy peaks, tt's blazing in the midnight sun
Just behind a veil of wind, a million angels waiting in the wings
A swirling storm of cherubim making ready for the Reckoning
Oh how long, how long?
Oh, sing on, sing on
And when the world is new again and the children of the King
Are ancient in their youth again, maybe it's a better thing, a better thing
To be more than merely innocent, but to be broken then redeemed by love
Maybe this old world is bent, but it's waking up, and I'm waking up
'Cause I can hear the voice of one, He's crying in the wilderness
"Make ready for the Kingdom Come"
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Come back soon, come back soon
